Re: One in Five PC's Infected With Rootkits

Click for full size
Prevx is one of a few I use,but my only gripe about it is that everytime I use it..........a popup says that there is a malicious entry in the hosts file and that it can't start until it's deleted and then it gives you a choice to delete it,but doesn't show you the actual entry?

And I'm positive my hosts file hasn't been compromised?

Just ran this and encountered the same thing. It deleted everything in my HOSTS file and left a single line:
127.0.0.1 localhost

It didn't find any infections scanning it with my original HOSTS file in place or it's 'improved' version of the same.
