Has nothing to do with freeware, the topic of this newsgroup. Wildcards cannot be used in the hosts file. The hosts file must specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or a hostname that resolves locally. Your first 2 entries are invalid in the hosts file. FQDNs must be specified for Internet (non-local hosts). For example, the MVP hosts file (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) has over 70 entries just for the doubleclick.net domain. Domains cannot be specified, only hosts (and that requires hostname, domain, and TLD be specified). Wildcards are meaningless since you are NOT equating a specific host to a specific IP address which is the ancient purpose of the hosts file. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc751132.aspx
