I suppose I can squish this in the topic. The hosts part. Also, Keep your system updated and stay secure. Tips to avoid viruses trojans

I would recommend Comodo free firewall, which comes with a sandbox and defense+.

Also, I would and no doubt this has saved me from a lot of bad stuff, recommend MVPS hosts file.

You can use this on linux, rooted phones and Windows, and probably other stuff that use hosts file.

http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

If you get notepad++, you can ctrl-f 127.0.0.1, click replace all with 0.0.0.0 .

Example.

Code:

127.0.0.1  fr.a2dfp.net > 0.0.0.0  fr.a2dfp.net

By doing this, you save a lot of space.

And you leave

Code:

127.0.0.1  localhost

alone.
