I am having a problem with Ad Aware I am hoping someone can help me with.  Each time I do a scan the same 9 infections come up. They are listed under the family of "Redirected hostfile entry" and have the IP address of 127.0.0.1. after looking up this IP I find that it is some kind of loopback to my own computer.  The problem here is that I cannot remove or Quarantine these.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I think this maybe where the problem is. But the file is very large, I think to large to post here 284KB.

go to filehippo.com and search spybot

download the latest version, even if it is a beta version

after following the setup run a "search and destroy" or "search for problems"

     scan.  you may be amazed what it will find

Hello,

This may not be the best place tp post. First Ad-Aware should be used with Spybot not as a replacement. Go to a strong site that specializes in these issues. I really like Majorgeeks.com

Give it a shot.
