In fact, it is not difficult to edit host file, but some users will certainly have problems with such things. This only solves the problem of the existing phishing sites, and the much bigger problem are new or undetected sites which appear every day.

Internet users use search engines, this is an indisputable fact - and so will be in the future. It's important when we make sure that the address of a site is correct, to add that site to our browser bookmarks and use that link to access site every time. Antivirus and adblockers are not 100% safe way of protecting, but in my personal experience in most cases they do their job well.

Yesterday I report first and last phishing site from the list to Google Safe Browsing, today both sites are blocked by Malwarebytes as phishing sites. It seems the majority of security software and browsers using Google data for phishing sites, so it is important to report such sites as soon as possible, and they will be blocked in one way or another.
