All I can say is WOW. That worked. Although I was lucky in having another computer to follow the directions and this really worked. My PC actually runs better than it did before it was infected. My only sujestion would be to compile all the programs that needed to be downloaded into one zip file so the user can click just once and install all the required programs. As you know once your PC is infected, trying to download 4 separate times is almost impossible. But anyway, it worked and I thank you.
AT LAST. i have installed adbin, hostess, hosts editor and win hosts file editor. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE WHICH WORKS!!!!!!!!!
all the others had ‘wrong file path’ or ‘not enough space in memory’ (owing to spybot’s excellent blocklist), or were so controlling i couldn’t add the entries i needed into the tiny slots provided, whatever.
this one allowed me to append a text file containing the required additions!!!! although that was after i couldn’t add a certain entry that caused the app to produce a ‘cannot make file’ error..
still, mission accomplished. the frigging hosts is FINALLY edited!
really, really great 🙂
