From the developer:
Hostblock helps you block either ads or just unwanted host addresses. Instead of doing own traffic monitoring, it relies on Windows' HOSTS file to provide system-wide application-independant address blocking. Another beauty of this method is the fact that the block list still applies and can be edited without the application.
