    Mmm, looks like you're right drrag, spybot doesn't -modify- the hosts file, but windows defender detects it as such:
    Resumo:
    Alteração de Configuração do Sistema.
    (Alteration of the system configuration.)

    Mmm, then it's probably just a case of an old filename style (weren't they commonly written like that a long time ago? Or am I just clutching at straws?)

    Maybe an option for case-sensitive searching? Imagine the resourcehog!! Strange but I think i saw an option for this the other day, in an academic search.... or maybe i'm losing (more of?) my mind! - Chris

    If Windows Defender detects such change, eg. HOSTS FILE, then it would be better to allow it. Thing is that if you did not immunize, and there was a change in the HOSTS file it would be better to deny it.

    I have WinPatrol '08+ to alert me of that change. So Scotty alerts me everytime I immunize. Well it looks like entries are being added to the HOSTS file after every immunize.
