Host area
Posted by XPProUser on October 11th, 2005


Hi ... I downloaded this host program and afterward I notice that my IE
hangs on loading webpages , it take way to long to load , So
uninstalled this program but, My problem with the hanging webpages is
still there , Can I remove these host files located under this area
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

Will the default setting get restored after a reboot ?

I just spend all day reinstalling windows and all my program , this
host program was my last one that I installed

Windows xp pro sp2

Thanks in advance ....

How about telling us the name of "this host program" and where you got it?

Its call host manager from here http://www.bluetack.co.uk/index.php

I would really apreciated if someone can tell me whether if its ok
remove those files listed in the host area ? (
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\ ) Because I believe if I remove them I
wouldn't have this hanging problems with IE , Now I notice this only
happens after a reboot and start up IE , So far what I found that works
if I remove my perfetch files
