Okay, Susan,

I will drop in here at about 19:00 UTC/GMT. Please leave me a post here if you wish me to remote access your PC then.

I ran the Tools program and then ran HostsXpert.  I clicked on the Make files writeable? and something about the Host files, which I was able to do, but nothing seemed to happen.
I'll check in at 1900 GMT to discuss this further.

Hey Susan, might be good news...

This could mean that the MS fixit-tool did restore the original hosts file successfully.

When you then start hostsXpert and direct him to restore the file, you will see no change because the fixit-tool had already done that. And if you change something from blue to blue you see no difference. (Same goes for red / red or green / green...  ;D ...just kidding)

So basically this could be a good sign...  ;D

Hang in there, you're doing great.

I'll be here at 19 UTC.

Probably as MS Fixits work really well - I found their windows update fix magic - especially as it save me writing a mega batch file  ;D

Susan was here a bit earlier

Sorry I'm so late logging on.  I had to run out to help my daughter with something.  Is there something you'd like to try tonight?

Could you run a quick OTS to see if the hosts file has reverted to normal
