-----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 8:57 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 7 question Quick question -- is there something in Windows 7 that would prevent SpyBot from writing to the Hosts file? I cleaned my brother-in-law's laptop and tried to add the SpyBot Hosts file, but was unable to do so from within SpyBot. Eventually I just put the Hosts file from my wife's XP box on a flash drive and copied it over, but I am trying to get ready for Windows 7 here in the office and thought I'd ask. I *did*, at least, know enough to try running SpyBot as an admin, but that still didn't allow me to add the Hosts file. :( I'm suspicious, especially after reading a thread on the SpyBot S&D forums, that there may still be a trace of what was infecting his computer lingering around. I've already run VipreRescue and MalwareBytes, but wanted to add the SpyBot Hosts file as an added precaution.
