My hosts file has been damaged. I can't change the corrupted file
My system hosts file has been corrupted by some types of malware. I'm stuck to go on sites like google and youtube.
I have windows xp family
I know what I need to change in the hosts file, but I can't change the attributes. I tried to use Notepad, but it does not record. I guess that's because it is readonly and a file system. I tried to use the cmd commands and attribute... does not work. Don't know how to change the hosts file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

It's a computer laptop dell inspiron with windows 7ultimate
Him begins the article with some basic steps you can take and then work upwards through more complicated methods where the easiest do not solve the problem. Please read the intro, but I think it will be the 8 method which solves your problem. Follow the precautionary measures later in the thread as well.
You could be up & running again within an hour, probably less.
If you have any questions, post it here; I'll keep an eye on your question.

My hotmail email has been compromised, I can't change the password, someone tried to enter into the account by using a password wrong too many times. The information takes me just round in a loop. I need to get my list of contacts of the compromised account so I can transfer to a new e-mail account. I had this account to hotmail for a long time and I really want this back, but with the security knowing that he has not been hacked. At the very least, I want to be able to get my contacts.

How to fix a download that is "a supported file type not or because the file has been damaged"
I downloaded files from an e-mail to SAVE in the Documents and when I went to OPEN it with ADOBE READER, I received a message that "Adobe Reader cannot open this file because it is not a type of file supported or because the file has been damaged (e.g. He was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded. I'm a novice at this and do not understand really that. What can I do to fix this so I can play this file? Can you help me?
Nope... I'm not confused.
MP4 is a film format and has nothing to do with
Adobe Reader.You need an application that can read a MP4 video file.
The free VLC Media Player may be worth a try:

Error message: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot be opened because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and is not decoded)
You can "try" to save the pdf first attachment before opening it in Reader, but most of the time, that doesn't make a difference. It will confirm that the file is corrupted by email if and only not by a process involved in open it from your e-mail client.

Error States: Adobe Reader could not open ' heels 2014 001.exe bmp because it is not a supported type, file or because the file has been damaged (for example: he was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been decoded correctly.).

The file you are trying to open is (you can see from the name) a BMP, PDF files no file. Adobe Reader can only open PDF files, just so stop trying to open it with Adobe Reader. The app, users of Windows for BMP files is painting.

Several files have been created and they are on my desk. When I try and open the files I have Adobe Reader could not open 'hs_err_pid14036.log' because it is not a type of file supported or because the file has been damaged. What can I do?
It seems to me that your system file associations are out of step and must be properly configured.
First, you will need to know what to use to open these files. Then you can Google how to set the file associations for any operating system you have and go and put them in the correct application.
As to why they are generated, not sure, but not something from Adobe.

Software Adobe reader could not open 'example.pdf' because it is not a file type supported or because the file has been damaged... I act not I have a problem with the 11.0.0.379 version that I have used before and I think that this problem of due before 11.0.9 version and is on the later version, including the "Adobe reader DC" the workaround that I opened the PDF file of the file in Notepad and delete the text in the top starting by <? XML 1.0 encoding and save. This fixes the problem on small files, but it does not work in larger files... How should I solve this?
If you generate files with anything before % PDF, these files are faulty. It is never allowed, but player used to tolerate it for compatibility with an obscure format Mac.
