when i scan with spybot 1.4 (my first scans with spybot 1.4), i am getting some errors relating to my "hosts" file.. here is the info from the scan report:
--- Search result list ---
Error during check!: Windows.RedirectedHosts [27] (Cannot open file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) ()
Error during check!: Windows.RedirectedHosts [28] (Cannot open file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) ()
Error during check!: Windows.RedirectedHosts [357] (Cannot open file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) ()
Error during check!: Windows.RedirectedHosts [358] (Cannot open file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) ()
Error during check!: Windows.RedirectedHosts [479] (Cannot open file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process) ()
Congratulations!: No immediate threats were found. () -end report
is this caused by a known bug in spybot 1.4?
maybe there is some problem with my hosts file.. (?)
any advice?
incidentally, when i did a scan with "spyware doctor", it had problems with scanning the "hosts" file, too..
