I just can't get into it. No matter what I do... It resulted from malware, my hosts file was "turned" into a system file that can not be altered or deleted in any way, shape or form.
I have attempted numerous "Internet fixes" to no avail. Can anyone help?
I receive access denied errors whenever I attempt to modify, add, edit, change or delete my hosts file. Safe Mode doesn't help. Run As Administrator with Administrator enabled doesn't help (Windows 7, 64bit machine, btw)... nothing works.
Anyone? Any ideas other than a complete wipe and rebuild?
Thanks!
I recommend you download Hiren's tool box ( http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ ) and try some cleaning, give it a try... it's a wonderful compilation of tools.
And yes, it has a tool that is about modifying host file. Did you tried to drag host file to desktop remove the read-only (if has) and then edit it? If not generate one new!
