 **Changelog**:
 
-08/01/2019 - Another minor point release for the removal of some redundant operations in the scripts, and the addition of a new default source in the hosts file updaters. We are now at stable release 1.7.3.
+09/17/2019 - A relatively major minor point release. This one enables the hosts file updaters to process plain bad domain lists in addition to the previous default behaviour of just processing other hosts files. It also updates the hosts parsing and PAC parsing routines to ensure removal of more undesirable lines from source lists. All in all, this is a small, though important update. Please upgrade to this version. We are now at stable release 1.7.4.

-05/23/2019 - Another minor point release to ensure feature parity between the main script menu and the systray program. Both now have options to edit the current hosts file on the system, and to view statistics about your hosts file (you must update your hosts file with CWP Utilities at-least once to view complete statistics). We are now at stable release 1.7.2.

 Are you tired of ads and trackers affecting your web browsing? Do you want to use file sharing applications in a safer way, with less risk of being snooped on? Do you want to take preemptive measures against spyware? Or, would you simply like to have an easier way of keeping your hosts file and torrent client block lists thorough and up-to-date on Windows? You've come to the right place if you answered yes to any of those questions.

-Combined Windows Privacy Utilities (or CWP Utilities) is a free and open source suite of integrated tools for Windows users, to help them guard their privacy and security. It does this through drastically simplifying the work of retrieving, parsing, and structuring data from a number of different trustworthy block lists, then combining them into single, usable files, and putting them in their proper places. [A simple installer is provided (just click this link to download it)](https://github.com/bongochong/CWP-Utilities/raw/master/Releases/CWP-Utilities-Stable-1.7.3.exe), to make everything easily accessible. The program can be installed anywhere on any device that runs Windows, along with USB drives, as all of the utilities dynamically recognize proper system paths. It creates no registry entries, cleans up after itself, and if one chooses to uninstall it, no files are left behind.

 CWP Utilities automates the process of maintaining an up-to-date and comprehensive hosts file, in order to block a variety of trackers, advertisements, and malware, on a system-wide level. It also enables the average user to easily keep the block lists for their file sharing applications up-to-date and thorough, along with facilitating the easy utilization of a Proxy Auto-Configuration (or PAC) file, for ad and tracker-blocking on devices that are less configurable (e.g. non-rooted phones). Think of it as a more capable, efficient and modern replacement for HostsMan, even though it's not as pretty. It can also fetch hosts lists from servers HostsMan cannot, thanks to an up-to-date build of wget for Windows.
