Malware Fraud.WindowsProtectionSuite

[BadBoi12]

Hi,

After running the check for problems on spybot. I got the following message:

Fraud.WindowsProtectionSuite

When I try to fix the problem I receive the following:

Unexpected error in fixing problems:
(Cannot create file
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Access is denied)

Here is a copy of the log:

Fraud.WindowsProtectionSuite: [SBI $B197733A] Redirected host (Redirected host, nothing done)
safebrowsing-cache.google.com=74.125.45.100

Fraud.WindowsProtectionSuite: [SBI $B197733A] Redirected host (Redirected host, nothing done)

What should I do?

I need help :-(

Hello,

Please delete your old host file.
Where the hosts file is located depends on your Windows version.
Windows 2000/XP/NT: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
Windows 95/98: C:\windows\hosts

Then download a new host file on this (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt) site.

Copy the whole text.
Then create a new txt file on your desktop and name it hosts without any extensions.
Then paste the text into it and store the file at the same place like mentioned above.

If this does not help please follow the procedure in this link:
