Thanks I'll give it a try.
Your help is much appreciated.

Did that...tried yours and and one from the MVPS site, both give a
warning/alert "HOSTS " changed when doing a scan.

Well, that sounds normal and expected, as you have changed it.

Normal! What's normal with computers today?(G)
It will be interesting to see if that warning continues on each daily
scan, if so then the protection it provides by saying Hosts has been
changed is not really a protection at all, since, if it continues to
provide the "changed" message you will never know if it has been changed
again or it's still the same old change you made initially.(G)
BTW I have already discovered It doesn't tell you it's changed if you
replace it with the original host file.

Logic (<g>) would indicate that it should no longer tell you it was
changed. If it does, can you trust the program for complex things?
('cause there's sure nothing complex about the hosts text file.)

Maybe it thinks that any entry other than the must-have
127.0.0.1 localhost
is a problem. If so ... see above about trust.
