Need good 3rd party software...

    Does anyone know of good software that would make adding hosts exceptions easy or something with a context menu (right-click menu) option?

    I've used hostsman and Emsisoft HiJackFree (which I enjoy,) but problems I have ran into are:

    - Having to do repeated copy/paste
    - Cumbersome utilities that require several steps to add entries

    Need:

    - Something hopefully browser-friendly (like right-click on a tab and choose an option "add hosts file exception"

    - Something that allows me to export / inport preconfigured lists of web addresses

    I go to sites and see stuff like that "funmoods" crap (toolbar bloatware,) or popups of the ilivid download / video manager. I'd rather just obliterate them and add them to my hosts file. Another example would be ask/bing.com; search engines that like to takeover my current one (unless I set it up in advance to lock Google.com, the one I use.)

    It would juts be really beneficial to have a one-click solution to domains/addresses I don't want or need or simply don't trust.

    Ideas?
