The definitive method for the Enhanced Protection Mode??

[DavidR]

In all honesty I have found the MBAM IP blocking to be more hassle than its worth

Why?
I've used PeerBlock in the past. In Windows 7, more problems than good also: crashes, driver issues, etc.

Why, too damn sensitive, so lots of FPs (even some avast IP being blocked); not to mention this is meant to be malicious sites, but it includes many other categories which aren't malicious.

When that happens it is a pain in the rear, so it didn't last long as an enabled option for long. Also as far as malicious sites are concerned, I would rather trust the network and web shields to look after that area.

Ok, more or less the same I've expected. Thanks David.

No problem, most people just say as some do MBAM IP blocking, which is a bit too general as it is meant to be malicious website blocking. See the mbamUI, Protection (image), it is quite clear and for that description it isn't tight enough.

I think I have a solution. Well, it worked for me.

1. Uninstall your Avast! Antivirus.

2. Download the trial of the version 4.8 (this is important, because this virus is newer, and can easily go trough avast 6 protection.

3. Go to C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/ and delete hists. (I dunno what that is but I don't care, because it's called hists.

4. Set your file options to see hidden files.

5. Delete a file named hosts. (If you like to explore, look inside of it)

6. Try to search for a default hosts file to download, if not, download mine:

After all this, run a boot scan with  the 4.8 , and when done, install Avast! that you previously had.

This did it for me, especially because it wanted to pop-up some ads.
