Sure, but that does not mean I can't try to help 'staunch the bleeding' so to speak. Although I don't deny that it's more than likely that any such links can simply bypass host file by either built-in exception that takes precedence or by simply hardcoding them into system. Mainly guess on my part though, I have never intended to either make people think that that's an absolute fix nor make them extra paranoid.

Either way, Windows 10 is not even adjacent to my problems. Debian on one computer, Mint on the other and OpenWRT on the router ;).
