    Hi, just a quick query about AVG Free Edition. I've been using it for a long time now and I've never had any problems with it, fingers crossed! My last 2 recent scans are both showing this in the results, I will post a screenshot of what I mean by "this".

    Im not totally sure If this Is a major problem or not, or If its just a routine scan now :-? ....If anyone knows anything about this or could give me some Information on this I would be extremely grateful.

    Thanks in advance, Luke

    I've never gotten a result like that. Do you use a hosts file?

    Not at all. I know about them, what they can do, but have never replaced my existing HOSTS file at all, or edited it in any way. Was just unusual for this to appear as I've never seen it before. :|

    Thanks, Luke

    Did you install the new version of Spybot S&D? It modifies your Hosts file - I got that same detection from AVG after I installed it.

    Hmmm, interesting. I don't use Spybot S&D though. Thanks for the response though :)
