I use Adblock Plus to block such things as ad.doubleclick.net. It's available from <http://adblockplus.org/en/>. Using Adblock Plus leaves my Hosts file available for its intended purpose: a local DNS table. I also have an application that maintains it, updating the IP addresses for the domains I have added to Hosts. -- David E.
