• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

I would like to add a web site by myself to the Spybot host file. I locate the file but cant modify it.

Is it possible ?

How can I do that ?

thanks.
 
You'll have to disable Spybot-Search&Destroy's HOSTS read only protection:
Advanced Mode>Tools>IE Tweaks

Untick the first option and you can retick it after your done.

Run:
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\

There you'll see the Windows HOSTS file.
Just be sure to add your site after the "#" signs. Insert it where the 127.0.0.1 (site) is. Like in that area.
