    Default Error during scan

    Hi,
    I scanned today, yesterday and day before yesterday and am receiving the same error message.
    Error during check!
    Microsoft.Windows.Redirectedhosts(58)Cannot open File
    "C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" The process cannot acess the file because it is being used by another process.
    What is the best way to correct this error message?

    Are you running any other anti-malware programs besides Spybot-S&D that may be blocking access to the HOSTS file?

    ZoneAlarm, STOPzilla and possibly other programs can block access to the HOSTS.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.

    Default Error during Scan

    I am running Spyeraser from digital river, could that be causing the message? come to think of it, it did start after I installed that. I also run McAfee Suite, but the message has never shown with that.
