Hello:

I would like to add an address to the host file list , so that it is blocked that way.

I tried adding the Spybot list to it from Tools-->Hosts File, but I get a reading that:
Spybot cannot create file because it can't find the path specified by:

\%system root%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts


However, I can easily locate that address by going to:

Windows\System 32\drivers\etc\hosts

Questions:

1) Why am I getting that reading from Spybot?

2) Is it necessary to enable Teatimer and/or Resident SD Helper for this to work?
I currently do not have either of these enabled. I'm merely interested in blocking one specific site.

Thanks in advance:
