Hello!

I have a third party program (which I trust of course) trying to edit my c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, but it can't edit it. The file remains read-only no matter what I do.

I noticed that "Lock Hosts file as protection against hijackers" has been checked and thought it might be the reason why I can't take the read-only restriction off, but how do I uncheck it? When I uncheck it, it looks like it unchecked it, but if I go to some other part of the program like "Resident" and go pack to IE tweaks, it's checked again.

I tried unchecking it by running Spybot normally and as an administrator (which I am) and in safe mode, but they didn't help. I have Vista Enterprise 32bit and the newest version of Spybot (had a bit older version as well and it didn't work with that one either).

Thanks for the help!
