Instead of a host file most firewalls will allow you to block domains from within.. is this something you only want for a few users or all users? What type of firewall are you using?

There seem to be various customised host files available for download that will block advertising/porn sites <br />
<br />
Does anybody know where I can get one that will block facebook and all its sub domains? I've blocked facebook.com, m.facebook.com, blog.facebook.com but i keep finding more. It seems that every country has it's own sub domain (ie fr.fr.facebook.com)

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
