i watch some episodes of old tv series on you tube, and usually because of my hosts file, they're commercial free. but suddenly i was getting commercials. so i checked for the latest update for the hosts file, and updated it.
all but one commercial is now stopped. (a lexus one - gee, i wish i could afford one of those ...lol)
is there a way to block it? or contact the people who compile the hosts file so they can add it to their list?
thanks

Get the URL of the advert , kali, open the Hosts file from it's location as shown on the update messsage, add a new line starting with
127.0.0.1 and make sure you space to the same place as other entries before adding the URL from the Lexus advert.
