View Full Version : Error during check
When spybot is finished I get the following line item:
Error during check!: Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts [3] (Cannot open file "C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts". Access is denied) ()
This line repeats almost 1300 times! What does this mean?

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.
I have other programs, but none of them were running and they never affected spybot until now.
Where has this been moved to???
