But were you able to write the hosts file to the machine from within Spybot?

Hmm... even though I started SpyBot as an Admin? I never got prompted for
permissions to modify a system file like I would have expected. I'll try
temporarily disabling UAC when I get home and see if SpyBot will update the
hosts file.

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.
Thanks....
