mediacenter xp2 profestional. with avg free, it
showed host file change.i could not find this in
faq,s.and i have no idea what this is.could somebody
tell me please.thanks for your time...p.This is nothing to be concerned about. It simply means that there has been a change in the Hosts file, which is a file that blocks certain sites/domains from displaying. For more info on the Hosts file, SEE the following...

cheers......Hosts File Info...No problem, Paul. patio has a good reference there as WELL.Thanks........If this was my computer I'd want to know what changes were made to my hosts file, your hosts file can be used to deny access to anti-malware sites or more importantly it can redirect your internet banking just to name a COUPLE of things.
Don't dismiss this warning without full investigation to SATISFY yourself all is well.
