Last night got a virus, I don't know how.. might have been in a torrent or something.
But yeah my avg is going crazy the resident shield is popping up every few minutes
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS virus

Although when I click heal or move to vault nothing happens

Done a bit of research on the virus and a few people have suggested that HostsXperts will resolve the issue used that and nothing happens
So yeah help me helpdesk :D

Go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\

And open up the HOSTS file, when it prompts you as to which program to open it with, you can select notepad.

The file should look something like this:



# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost


Anything with a # sign before it doesn't really matter, those are comments. However, you should have nothing after "127.0.0.1 localhost" The file should end after that. If you want, just delete the remaining portions after that, and set it to read only, or download SSAD which has an option for locking the hosts file.

Good Luck.
