HOSTS file not working/responding

K

Kyle Herrmann

I have several users whose HOSTS file seems to be ignored when they change
it. Any entry they add is like it isn't even there.

I have run AdAware and HiJackThis on it, but discovered nothing besides the
Alexa spyware.

Anyone have any ideas besides spyware as to why the HOSTS file would be
ignored?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Read only attribute would be one reason.
