Bug: duplicate entries in hosts file

[Former user]

It seems blockhosts.cmd creates duplicate entries in the hosts file.

I ran the script several times, and after the line "# Start of entries inserted by Ancile", the following lines are duplicated :

[...] 127.0.0.1 a.rad.msn.com 127.0.0.1 a.rad.msn.com 127.0.0.1 ac3.msn.com 127.0.0.1 ac3.msn.com [...] 127.0.0.1 ecn.dev.virtualearth.net 127.0.0.1 ecn.dev.virtualearth.net [...] 127.0.0.1 live.rads.msn.com 127.0.0.1 live.rads.msn.com [...] 127.0.0.1 msntest.serving-sys.com 127.0.0.1 msntest.serving-sys.com

I think blockhosts.cmd should check whether entries to be added are already present in the hosts file, regardless who/what put them there.

Looks like a few duplicates got in when I merged hosts from crazy-max's lists. This will be removed in the next release
