nettle:

I want to try something. Make a folder of C:\ called hostme.

Navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

Copy your hosts file to the hostme folder.

Once you have that backup hosts file in that folder..delete the one c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

Reboot.

Now see if you get to the links POADB posted. I want to see if this MSN virus is using just the hosts file...or the registry also. Let me know the outcome.
