I also went through some of the source code. That "adds things to hosts file" code has some rather questionable entries in it. m.hotmail.com watson.microsoft.

I also went through some of the source code. That "adds things to hosts file" code has some rather questionable entries in it. m.hotmail.com watson.microsoft.com Assorted *.msn.com domains apps.skype.com msftncsi.com "Add spying domains to hosts file" is dishonest, at best. This appears to be a determined effort to break random services for the user which happen to be run by Microsoft. Hotmail, Skype and the NCSI detection are particularly inexcusable things to block under the guise of "destroy spying".

I used the software, skype works fine it just doesn't have ads anymore and skype home whatever that is. Msn domains are only subdomains that are most likely ads related Watson is Microsoft report tool so "spying" Hotmail no idea but I don't think you'd use the mobile website on desktop anyway and the domain is live.com now Add to that, in the software there is a Open hosts file to see/edit it so you can remove whatever you don't want to block
