I think a stupid heuristic detection by VIPRE.
Malware many times inject the host file with 127.0.0.0 and a bounce of 
legitimate security sites

Oggetto: Vipre blocking access to "hosts" file???

I use SpyBot Search & Destroy's hosts file to block known bad sites. 
Suddenly overnight, Vipre Enterprise is logging the Hosts file as "malware 
traces." Anyone else seeing this????
Any idea how to fix this, other than white-list it?
