The first thing the program does is to save your current hostfile in ./advoid/orighosts. If 'Revert to default' is selected then that file is copied back to /etc/hosts so If there is already a copy of mvps in the hostfile on the initial run the only way to revert would be to manually edit ~/.advoid/orighosts or revert and then edit /etc/hosts.
