Hi,
I have been having trouble adding and removing blocked websites on my computer, and I think spybot might be the cause. I am hopping that someone can help me out.
It all started after I ran Spybot to scan my computer. Later on, I decided to edit the websites I had blocked on my computer. Unfortuneatly, notepad would let me edit the list, but it would not let me save them. So I am stuck with the same list of sites. I am talking about the list of you localhost. The one when you go into the commandprompt and enter "Notepad C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts"
At the bottom of my list is this...
# Start of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy
# End of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & DestroyThere is nothing in between the "# Start..." and the "# End..." .
When I try to save my list, a message come up saying something similar to "Cannot creat file C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts . Make sure the pathway and file name are correct."
Afterwards, a message comes up saying "Common Dialog Error (0X3002)"
That is all the information I have.
On other note, I am not the best when it comes to computers, so please try to explain how to fix the problem in simple terms. Thank you.
