Thane, Delete/erase the file. Get a new one and go from there. Yes, have read many reports of antics with the mvps hosts file. Stuff happens still, I suppose. Small fence maybe, but I use it..... :) Duncan

Here's an odd one. I have a hosts file that I can't delete (it's clearly malicious since I can look at it) but it's SHR and attrib won't touch it. So I boot in BartPE and attrib gives the same problem. Now I've never seen a file that I couldn't take control of in BartPE. I was able to rename the ETC folder which took it out of play, but I'm still wondering about it - anyone have any ideas? T
