Speed up and secure your Web Browser

One excellent way to make your Windows (or Mac or Linux) computer more safe for the Internet browsing is to manage what is called the Hosts file. That does not mean that you would have to understand programming or anything like that. It's actually pretty simple: on your computer you just go to where your Windows Hosts file is, and either, copy+paste new content into it, or replace the file with a new one. It is easy to do yet also requires careful attention while performing the process of changing the file: Hosts file is not something you want carelessly play around with.

Before we proceed to actual way of dealing with Hosts file, I will explain what is the point of changing it, so you can figure out yourself if you actually want to do that.
You most definitely want to update your Hosts file if you:

• don't like dozens of advertisements displayed on pages you are browsing. If that is the case then updating your Hosts file the way I am about to advise will let you get rid of majority of annoying ads on Internet pages by simply not loading those ads.
• want to keep the number of malicious websites (those containing malware and browser hijackers) you risk to open to a minimum.
• don't want to be secretly tracked by some Internet ad providers who try to follow visitors' actions and see what other sites they are visiting.

Changing your Hosts file will block your computer's connection to any of the sites that are correctly listed in this file.

Speaking in terms of TV adverts: Ever since I have discovered this method, my computers' (both, Windows and Linux) Hosts file is always up to date with the content provided by Winhelp2002 website. No more forever loading ads, no more strange, slow loading pages, no more strange behaviour by my Web Browsers.
