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".
