Hello,

AVG has found an entry during a scan:

Object: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Result: Change

I don't know what to do with it. I've googled it and some have suggested it is nothing at all and should be allowed, others have suggested it is solething to be worried about.

I think it may have only started to appear after I installed Spybot Search and Destroy the other day. I have installed AVG Free, Spybot SD, Comodo Firewall, and am carefull about what I install apart from one avi convertor about a zeek ago that looked suspect so I got rid of it.

Any help appreciated,

thanks,

gubar
 
SpyBot automatically makes changes to the Hosts file to block lots of bad sites, that is more than likely what AVG is detecting.
 
OK thanks to you both for your quick responses. Couldn't do without this site.

cheers
