edge-adblock's Issues

file explorer

After using the adblock for a few days my computer wont open the file explorer tab to view files on my computer,also AVG free will not open.When I try to restart it will just sit there saying restarting and not go any further.I have to do a hard reboot.I really like the program and would want to continue using it but just wanted to let it known of the issue i'm having and see if there is a solution.I'm new to this so I hope I'm posting this in the correct area.

Questions

Hi,

Thanks for this. Just some questions if I may:

1. On this site - http://www.chris123nt.com/2015/05/05/blocking-ads-with-microsoft-edge-project-spartan/ there are some instructions for using a hosts file solution which includes something your regfile doesn't have - Creating a new DWORD named “MaxNegativeCacheTtl” and setting it to 0. Is that not necessary?

2. How do we keep the hosts file up to date? Do we wait for a new release from you?

Thanks
