Default "Redirected Host" complaing from Ad-Aware 6

Hi Guys,

I recently changed my host file to the one suggested in http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=27971
and since then when i have run Ad-Aware, it has reported a number of redirected host problems.

I have not fixed these as i believe they may be a sign that the HOSTS file is actually doing what it is supposed to. Is this the case or should these problems be fixed using ad-aware?

Regards

Andy

Hi Andy....

NO, DO NOT FIX...

Rightclick in the window where they are listed and select 'Add to Ignorelist' I *think* is the option.

see my pic...

Cheers, TAS

PS... of course make sure it's only those entries you ignore.

Yep, you're right Tas.

Here is the Lavasoft Knowledge Base Article about it:
