My HOSTS file is managed with "HostsMan", and set to replace not merge.
After updating and creating a fresh file, the redirection is still there.
Using most default sources, except hphosts and hphosts (partial)
I have 3 extra HOST files added, Easylist, Easylist Privacy, and Fanboys annoyances.

Not sure what to make of it as all sources are trusted.
