This entry appears on a hijack log just above another 01 entry for the list of host entries made by Spybot.

Can you confirm it is safe, or is it unadvised to delete it..

Usually the O1 portion of the HOSTS file means that the HOSTS file is Hijacked, but this doesn't look/seem like the case from your description.

Is this from the Windows HOSTS file or from a HJT log?

Thank you. It looks as though this is safe.I have also seen it on other peoples hjt logs.

It sounds more (from the O1-entry) like that entry is from a Windows HOSTS file, but I can't say that you're wrong :red:.

From my knowledge, I don't think there is anything wrong with that entry. Unless it is showing an IP address followed by a link (Ex. "google.com"), then it means you're really in trouble (like you have a HOSTS file Hijack) :fear:.
