Could I have some advice please? I have looked back through 20 pages of this section and seen many references to the hosts file, but not anything like my problem. I have a laptop and a desktop. Both running XP2 home, Zonealarm Firewall, AVG Free 7.5.516, Spybot, & Adaware 2007. AVG usually flags up changes after MS Updates, but since I upgraded Spybot to 1.5.2.20 it also reports a "change" to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" after updating and running Spybot. I can select remember this setting and ignore on next scan and it will then run O.K. This occurs on both machines. I'm no expert but I understand that this folder contains the definitions file, so it would obviously be different after an update. The thing is this behavior didn't happen with version 1.4. Can you offer a fix, or should I try AVG's forums?
Regards.
