Malicious system settings change in host file detected by Outpost Spyware Scan
« on: September 06, 2009, 09:59:11 AM »
I scanned my computer using Outpost Spyware Scan and Found malicious system setting change in host file after quick scan. My Windows update from Windows website is working after removing Registry errors. I tried to cure this malicious system setting change with Outpost Spyware Scan but it failed.Also I am unable to Quarantine.
Malwarebytes Antimalware reported no malicious item.

The host file I use is mvps host file.

How to cure this?

here is a screenshot of detection.

I believe Outpost is telling you that the HOSTS file has been updated since the last time it was scanned.

MVPS HOSTS file was updated Sept. 2nd.

It would be best to ask this question in the Outpost forum:

Problem is solved.

When I updated my MVPS HOST file with new one, the same malicious settings detected again by Outpost Spyware Scan (Quick Scan) and it is cured this time.

I checked MVPS HOST file with Winpatrol it working.
