"Redirected Host" complaing from Ad-Aware 6

Hi Guys,

I recently changed my host file to the one suggested in https://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...

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:
