But we shouldn't! Your hosts file can contain other useful entries. Not
the least of which is the hosts file which comes with KaZaa Lite which
maps loads of known adware hosts to 127.0.0.1, thus preventing a colossal
amount of advertising drivel. What you do is copy the winmx host entries
at the bottom of the file into your existing hosts file.
