    Unhappy Can't remove Fraud.WindowsProtectionSuite&Microsoft.Windows.Redirected

    Spybot won't remove the following:

    Fraud.WindowsProtectionSuite

    and

    Microsoft.Windows.Redirected Hosts

    Says, "unexpected error; cannot create file
    C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Access is denied

    I am not computer savvy, so please provide easy instructions.

    (I am "redirected" all the time. It's dreadful.)
    Thanks.

    I can't get the program to run to copy the code. Beth Ann

    Hi,

    Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
    Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds file to run the tool.
    • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
      1. DDS.txt
      2. Attach.txt
    • Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.

At that point, if you still require help, please start a new topic and include a fresh DDS log and a link to your previous thread. Please do not add any logs that might have been requested in the closed topic, you would be starting fresh.
