Hi,

I just did a scan with SS&D and it shows up the attached 19 results. I think it has something to do after I installed Apache and PHPdev. I am not sure what to do with the results. Any ideas?
TIA,

Gerard

I am positive about that Gerard, cause when I google and type:
"phpdev host redirections" I get some people experiencing the same but on another level but as they say: t gaat mijn petje teboven....:D

sorry.

Those are your hosts file redirects (blocking) of malware-spyware websites to the localhost, i.e., your computer. They're safe. Right click on SS&D hosts results and select 'ignore' from the menu.

Thanks guys,

AvianFlux, I know what these are. Just I wonder why they show up right now, never did before. I have a 900 Kb hosts. I will look further why this did happened (regarding php and apache). Thanks again.

-{ Quote: "Just I wonder why they show up right now, never did before." }-Can't answer why they didn't show up before....but those same 19 Hosts file re-direct entries cropped up back in the middle of December as noted in the below thread. To my knowledge it ain't got nothing to do with php and apache....but False positives with Spybot....as noted in the below thread.

Thanks for the link Bubba. I downloaded hpguru hostfile for the first time, no special reason for that, just giving it a try. Normally i download the MVP hostfile. Maybe the prob has to do with hpguru. I will delete it and got mvp back and then run another scan with SSD. Will let you know the results.
Best regards,

Gerard

OK, I removed guru and downloaded mvp hosts. Then added S-S&D host and did a scan with the attached results.
Cheers,

I use the MVP HOSTS file and don't have any problem with Spybot...

i use hpguru and have had those results for awhile :)

off subject, but did you see HostsMan? it's really good. also, if you merge different hosts files it will delete any duplicates easily.
