• Corrected the host file corrupted, now showing 2 host files in XP

  I have a corrupt host file and 2 host files have now for some reason any. What to do to fix this?

  After explaining all this several times, here are some notes:

  The hosts file is a read-only file, hidden system.  It is just a text file that you can manipulate with WordPad, Notepad or any text editor.  Before you modify the hosts file, make a copy of the current in case you need to restore the original.

  The hosts file is (or should be) a file read-only, which means that if change you it, you will not be able to save the changes until you remove the read only attribute of the file.

  You may be able to create a new one or reset your hosts with Microsoft Help file:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972034 (this does work as expected the last time I tried).

  If you use the Fix It from Microsoft, you will have no hosts file when you're done (which is not necessarily a bad thing) so you can just read and follow the instructions to find out how to fix it yourself.

  Some third-party software analysis tools (like Spybot) may add entries to the hosts file on purpose to block your browser from loading WWW websites completely or block ads from certain sites WWW.  They claim to have a list of sites that most of the people want to block and insert them into your file hosts for you.  You can always delete the entries in the hosts file manually if you wish.

  Another good option to block ads sites is to use Firefox with the Adblock Plus extension (it is updated regularly with new sites).  If you use that combination, you don't have to worry about your hosts file and these two together really do a good job.

  Malware can also add entries in the host file to redirect the browser to another site than the one you really want to visit WWW.

  For example, if you try to browse to www.google.com, you can find yourself on a WWW site that is inappropriate or simply an advertisement for a product you never heard and do not want.  Your browser will always be redirected away from www.google.com until correct you the hosts file.

  The malware can also modify your hosts file to block your browser to go to Web sites where you might find a solution for how to remove the malicious software.  The malware sometimes knows what you're going to try to find and remove, so it will prevent you to do so.

  If your hosts file has been manipulated by malware, edit the hosts file does not remove the malware.  You will still need to scan your system with software tools to make sure that the malware has entirely disappeared.

  Malware analysis tools can also remove the malicious software and leave the bad entries in the hosts file.  Analytical tools cannot tell if the entries in the file hosts were made on purpose or by malware you still may need to edit the file hosts manually in case of redirection of the browser once the malware has been removed.

  Some analytical tools will report changes to the hosts as a suspect file and allow you to review the changes and allow you to decide whether the changes are appropriate, and to take action.

  Sometimes, analytical tools cannot tell if the entries in the hosts file have been put there by malicious software or you put there on purpose so cannot do not report any problems with the hosts file.  This does not mean that the hosts file has not been adjusted by malicious software.

  A hosts file is not required for your browser to operate.  If you suspect a problem with the hosts file, you can rename the hosts file and test your browsing without it.

  Always reboot your system and the navigation test after making changes to the hosts file.

  To manipulate the hosts file, you need to make hidden files not hidden and remove the attribute only read the hosts file.

  In Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

  Click on tools. Of files, display options.  In advanced settings, enable (check) the box option for:

  Display the hidden files and folders

  Click OK.

  The hosts file has also no extension (for example, .exe or .doc) and it may be useful to also see the file extensions for all files in
  the folder.  While you adjust the display of folder options, bring up the file extensions.

  Click on tools, Options, view.  In advanced settings, clear (uncheck) the box:

  Hide extensions of known file types

  Click OK.

  Now the hosts file must be visible and you can also see the file extensions.

  Make a copy of the current hosts file and name the copy something he can remember so that you can find it later and cancel
  any change if the changes don't work or things get worse.

  The host file is usually a single reading, so to change it, you must remove the read-only attribute:

  Make a right-click the hosts file, properties, uncheck the box that says:

  Read-only

  Click OK.

  Now you can edit the hosts file with a text editor (Notepad, Wordpad).  Be sure to save the hosts file after any changes.

  You will need to decide what is in your hosts file.  The default hosts file has only one entry (and a lot of comments) so if you think that the hosts file are the part of your question, you can remove all but the default entry and save the file.

  Always reboot your system and the navigation test after making changes to the hosts file.

  You should make hosts read-only folder again when you are finished making changes.  Obviously some programs or malware do not pay attention to the attributes of a file read-only, but it is advisable for the host file to be unalterable.

  If you want to, reverse explore changes to hide system files and extensions of known file types.

  If you think your hosts file is irretrievably, replace the contents with the default values of Windows.

  The default for Windows XP hosts file looks like this:

  # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
  #
  # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
  #
  # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
  # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address must
  # be placed in the first column, followed by the corresponding host name.
  # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
  space #.
  #
  # In addition, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
  # lines or following the name of the machine indicated by a symbol "#".
  #
  # For example:
  #
  # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
  # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

  127.0.0.1 localhost

  There are places on the Internet to download information to your hosts file which is based on what other people think your hosts file must block or allow for your Internet browsing.  Sometimes that works very well, but you now need to know more on the manipulation of the hosts file now so that you can decide what's best for your environment.

  Here's some additional reading on how to manipulate your hosts file:
