Hi there
Spyware is notorious for adding entries into system32\drivers\etc\hosts
to break AV and Windows Update by pointing notable DNS names back to
other inappropriate IPs such as 127.0.0.1
Can Nessus read that file and trigger an alert when it finds something
like the following list of AV DNS names in it?
