How to change the HOSTS file, especially when it changes by spyware? Is help available online?
Go find the HOSTS file Here: WinXP C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ Win2K C: \ WINNT \ system32 \ drivers \ etc Win 98/ME C: \ WINDOWS backup your HOSTS file current event, the first time. Open hosts with notepad. That's what the standard host should look like: # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP / IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. # Each entry must be on one line separately. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and host name should be separated by at least one space. # # Additionally, comments (like these) can be inserted # in the lines or following the machine name with a "#". # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost # …………….. Basically, there should be nothing below the line 127.0.0.1 localhost Remove all other entries, close Notepad and you are asked if you want to combine the information in the registry. Answer Yes, pending the establishment and that's it. Remove spyware changed file backup you made. Good luck.
