    If you cant find it right click blank space in the folder and click show hidden files. After finding hosts move into into the recycle bin and delete it. Create a blank text file called hosts and hidden it ( right click prosperity.) thumbs up

  • this did not work, it would not let me save it.

  • @Apmbabiestoo Try it again, try opening it as an administrator.

  • For all of with this whole #Copyright (c) thing, don't delete everything, just delete everything thats under "# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol." Like just all the adresses, not the entire paragraph thingymagig. And then save. That worked for me.

  • I went to windows 32 and there is no ect. folder or host file.....help :(

  • Guys here is the removal for the redirect virus. You need to check your Host file and lmHost file. You will see THOUSANDS of domain entries in their. Next open the registry and go to these 2 hives. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Mic­rosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\­Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains delete everything except microsoft. Also go to the Key P3P 2 folders up and delete the history. You will see THOUSANDS of entries! If you can replace the entire KEY on both Hives!!!

  • ass*

  • @mustangmaster97 FUUCK YEA!!! i finally found out for all u window vista that cant save your hosts file.

    1. drag ur hosts file to desktop

    2. open hosts files with notepad and delete all those nasty fuckers

    3. save the file.

    4. drag that hosts file at desktop (the one u modify) and replace the hosts file in etc folder.

    5. click this comment so people can see!

  • even though im an admin my computer wont let me save the changes and it says im not an admin and i need to contact one, wtf do i do

  • @CHeWiiT Hey mine had "127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com" yes with that many spaces and Im afraid to anything to it please help

  • Just a note. A lot of redirect issues won't be resolved by clearing the HOSTS file and removing viral traces. Many redirects are done by a virus changing your router's DNS settings from automatic to manual. Make sure to check that as well.

  • i have abunch of writing do i delete it

  • Comment removed

  • @CHeWiiT Everytime I delete it, it comes back after I open it. And I save it after I delete it too. How do I get rid of it???

  • "Make sure file path and file name are correct" Thats what it said after i deleted that and tried to save it. What does it mean?

  • thank you!!!...it worked...it was so much stuff in there that i had to delete you wouldnt have believed it...again thank you!!!

  • So I did it to mine as well, but when I clicked on the notepad it has all these stuff about a paragraph long... saying "# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp." and etc...? I deleted it, saved it, and came back it was still there? What do I do now?

  • @DailyBread2007 Thats exactly what happened to me! I even used the default windows 7 scanner to scan and delete and found a trojan twice and yet it still redirects, i scan again and says its fine...wtf?

  • @DailyBread2007 when u exit u have to make sure u save the settings

  • @DailyBread2007 My HP laptop has the same message i wonder if it may be important. Anyways, i tried saving the new blank message but it would not let me saying: Cannot create the hosts file make sure the path and file name correct. And well i made sure so everything is correct its just acting weird much. Help -CHeWiiT

  • @DailyBread2007 mine says that to.....

  • except there were words there and it wasn't empty...

  • I did exactly like you said but it is still redirecting me..,wtf?

  • did i come for the image or the problem idk BOTH
