mvps hosts file blocks mapquest directions
not sure which ad company is causing it. When you calculate directions in mapquest it just spins and spins. Verified on a few machines in a few states so far. I may investigate, probably will just say don’t use mapquest.
The argument with users should go like this – We block malware/adware. If Mapquest has recently changed partnerships and signed with someone who has a negative reputation, that does not give us a valid reason to stop using exisiting tools to block malware/adware. Write to mapquest or use Google maps, Bing maps, etc.
Mapquest hangs on Loading and just spins

I’m having the same problem when trying to pay my bill on Tmobile’s website. The feature works when I ditch MVPS Host file. I’ve had a few other issues too. I wish I knew how to narrow down what its blocking that is the problem so I could just remove that particular item.
Its a bummer, cause I love the added security of using the custom hosts file.
