    Can't prove apk's points on hosts superiority to adblock wrong? http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... Yes, you can't, as it's clearly beyond your means: Truth's like that. Get used to it. You fail. MalwareBytes hosts and recommends it http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl...

    ... apk . They are the #1 antivirus/antispyware/antimalware out there http://www.av-test.org/en/news... . I think THEY know far BETTER than you do, by far, on what's "malware" or not.
