    Default Windows.RedirectedHosts - Disables Spybot

    Hi gang!

    My wife picked up a nasty redirect which wants you to buy thier software to fix the problem etc. Yeah right! the company calls itself "AD Armor"

    Anyway Spy Bot detects it all right but when it comes to repairing it an ERROR message comes up.

    ERROR

    (cannot create file "C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

    it says another program is running the same thing so it cannot fix the problem then Spybot locks up and you have to End Spybot.


    Anyway i saved a report...but it is HUGEMONGEOUS should I paste it here or narrow my options.

    Thanks again fellers and keep Fightin the good fight

    Hello

    I am curious, do you have the correct spelling?

    'AD Armor' or 'AdArmor' (which is by Tenebril)

    As you are being re-directed please follow the instructions in this sticky topic:
    "BEFORE you POST" -Preliminary Steps

    Then start your own thread in the malware forum:
    Malware Removal Forum

    Once you have posted a helper will advise you as soon as available.

    Cheers.

    You're correct on the second ADArmore. I'll read up on the forum requests...and post it on MAlware. I actually thought it might deal with Spybot considering it disables the program.
