ah! silly me. now that u mentioned it, yeah, i remember that i locked the hosts file a long time ago to prevent malicious programs from writing stuff there. omg. :buried:

thanks again!

im using Avast antivirus and ZoneAlarm firewall.

stopping these processes does not enable me to immunise, or delete the hosts file.

OS: XP Home SP3

Spybot does not immunise all the entries for the hosts file. when i try to delete the file, windows tell me that it is in use. i may not add/delete entries manually also.

how do...
