   I currently have Adsgone popup killer and Spybot installed on my system. Now when I close Adsgone down it brings up a window saying "do you wish to rename read-only file Hosts to Hostsagf" I have read on various forums that you should NEVER rename a hosts file. What do I do? I keep on clicking no. As my PC been hijacked? What do I do? Please help.

   Well.. That program is probably writing to the HOSTS file. The HOSTs file is not all that scary. I would try a free popup blocker in our browser section and uninstall that one.
