After installation CPU was high, browsing slow........when I uninstalled it using it’s uninstaller.......the LAN & WiFi adapters failed to connect to the net despite the internet light was green on the adsl X6 modem.......may be it altered the TCP/IP settings or DNS.........so I restored the previous image........I'll request my pc geek friend to come install it.
Thanks any ways YoKenny for your support.

The Uninstaller does not revert back the changes made in Services (TCP/IP, DNS etc)? :-\

HostsMan does not make changes to TCP/IP configuration but it does disable DNS Client service that is only needed if the system is part of a corporation that uses Active Directory:

CPU usage plus 50%.
almost killed my laptop tonight with hostman ::) Wanted to use it (hostman) as ads are just hidden in Chrome (connections to ad servers aren't blocked at all). Worked fantastic first. Following a first reboot, noticed my network gadget wasn't displaying properly, took also time to appear on the desktop, then an exclamation point on my wi-fi tray icon (no internet), and finally a 50 to 100 % CPU load. Got an alarm from "realtemp" >>> CPU between 85 and 90° ::) ... uninstalled hostman as fast as I could, rebooted, everything's fine again...sigh...I'm gonna add a list of ad servers manually to my hostsfile to avoid such a disaster again. I suspect hostman from blocking internal traffic in Windows. No big deal, I'm done with it now.
ps: Yokenny, I don't post that to be provocative, all this really just happened less than an hour ago.

@ Logos
Maybe Chrome is not as good is they want you to believe.

By the way,
Do you know what this means?
I cannot log into Facebook. I get this error.
Error 111 (net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED): Unknown error.

Immediately after installing HOSTMAN even before I could configure it CPU shoots up to 90%.....& again browsing is real sluggish..........my machine isn’t as powerful.....it’s a ancient Core Duo & not Core 2 Duo..........that could be the reason why it works great on YoKenny's machines?

No,
Just go to Services under Control Panel, Administrative Tools
Just see if DNS Client is running or Disabled
