I am wondering if MVPS Hosts and HostsMan are recommended to increase security and improve internet browsing speed. I am on dialup internet. Are there any disadvantages in using these?
hey and welcome to the forum. according google mvps is too host some domain and hostsman is to manage files so i see not no reason to run then and what you seek. for better speed why not get some broadband? and in what way would you like to increase your security? many forum members here even me thinks if you use avast and malwarebytes and a third party firewall you are good protected.
hope this could help you out with your question.
Thank you for the information.
Do you use MBAM Pro in real time or just use MBAM for demand scanning?
Would Private Firewall be a good choice? Would it slow the dialup internet?
is a good option
Avast with Malwarebytes Pro: no conflict
but how will combine with private firewall is recommended
disable the behavior shield avast so that there is risk of imcompatibilidades.Um excellent free firewall, lightweight, featuring HIPS and still little known to most is Private firewall.

I have seen independent tests performed with the Beta version of Avast 8 and apparently is more sensitive to threats than its previous version, ie, is offering a higher level of protection and security to its users.
The market awaits the launch of the new Avast 8 for the next few weeks. It is expected that the final versions - and antivirus suite - 8 of Avast are available between the second half of February and the first week of March.
Thanks for the recommendation of Private Firewall and the heads up on Avast 8. Sounds exciting.
