I downloaded hostsman and now everytime I run spybot I get three entries of redirected hosts. Has anyone else had this problem and is this a problem or is this just something that spybot gets?
Hi bamaman66 1- SBS&D false positive probably... 2- use the MVPs hosts file and overwrite the hosts when you update from MVPs site with HostMan. The most recent Mvp's HOSTS file is here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm Replace your present HOSTS with this one and check again with spybot. (I disable this check up in Spybot because it's often give false positive. I write to the guys of SpyBot about this at least 3 times: no answer...)
Is it finding the below entries ? and is this your thread also at the Official Spybot Forum ? http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=7724 I would also suggest you take a look at the below thread @ the Official Spybot Forum and pay special attention to what the Spybot Advisor Team member comments about those same three entries. False Positives coming from hosts file HTH, Bubba
I solved the problem with hostsman by going into the editor and putting check marks by the three sites. They do not show up when I run spybot. I also fixed the updates so that I would not download the hp hosts file. Everything seems to be fine. I don't understand why a site would be a problem in the hosts file since it keeps pne from going to the site with 127.0.0.1.
