AVG shows ' c:\windows\system32\drivers\et... changed ?

Question

Would Spybot S&D cause this when it adds bad websites to the blocked list in the host file.??

Answer 1

Hi Northman
Dont fret thats normal... its detected a chnage since it last did a check, but if you installed or removed anything or updated anything then of course it will change, there normally 2 or 3 it finds, but this is basically to warn you thats these files have changed.
As the person aboves says it good and its free, but if you want the best, then its kapersky AV or NOD32 or similar, but these will cost around 25-35 each for one year. If you not happy with AVG (i use it myself) then try Avast its also free, just google avast, but its not as simple to use (in my opinion).
Hope this helps.... Good Luck

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com

It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

Answer 4

Its normal, don't worry.

Some files change constantly, this just confirms they aren't static, but also not infected.
