Does WinTrust replace hosts?

I was having trouble yesterday with Photoshop and the Accept Terms popup. Updating hosts wouldn't work, so I used the WinTrust method, which solved the issue👌 Should I still maintain an up-to-date hosts file? Or does the WinTrust method eliminate the need for hosts? I applied the WinTrust method to all of the apps that I use to avoid any future popups.

My first post to GenP, so just wanted to say thanks so much for all that you guys do, your efforts are greatly appreciated! 👍
