?Possible False Positive? - Redirected Host File

[TreeHead]

One listed problem which was displayed in red was "Microsoft Windows.Redirected Hosts" (see below).
However, as I use the Spybot HOST tool with each new update, I wonder if this could be a mistake or some sort of conflict? I am reluctant to allow Spybot to correct the problem. Can someone with more knowledge about this possibly advise. Thanks.

Redirected host
www.net-integration.net=127.0.0.1

Redirected host
net-integration.net=127.0.0.1

The Spybot HOSTS file is adding the following two (2) entries to the HOSTS file:

• 127.0.0.1 net-integration.net
• 127.0.0.1 www.net-integration.net

And then the scan is detecting those entries as Redirected host entries:

Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts: Redirected host (Redirected host, nothing done)
  net-integration.net=127.0.0.1

Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts: Redirected host (Redirected host, nothing done)
  www.net-integration.net=127.0.0.1

hi,

yes there is a false positive. The hosts file is correct: net-integration is supposed to get blocked, since they sell Spybot S&D without license.

The false positive is the flagging and removal of the the blocked net-integration sites. We will correct this with the next update.

Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for the replies. At present time I'll NOT proceed to have Spybot correct the problem and wait for the next update. Regards.

This is still getting detected as a problem with the 23/05/07 updates.
