He told you the same thing, I told you the same thing, and Aardie told
you the same thing. Is there a trust issue here?

Seriously, I recall some adware programs that put entries in
the hosts file so as to act like a lame DNS poisoning scheme.
They would place their entries way down the 'page' so that the
average user wouldn't see them even if they knew enough to
look at the hosts file in the first place.

It's 44 mins. long. Where in the track is the part about a text file
being Malware?

Nope. A slimy trolling innuendo thing.

His posted links have been non-sequitur to his point lately.

That's why I'm waiting on the exact time in the video.

I plan to watch the whole thing when I can, it does look interesting.

I'm well aware that such a thing can happen. Which is why, if I wanted a
tailor-made hosts file, I'd go for the MS-MVP one in the certainty that
it's unlikely to do any harm.

The only hosts file I need or want is no more than six or seven entries.

What now ?

Are you deliberately showing us that not only do you not know the subject matter but you
are a ****ty photographer and don't know how to use the FinePix J210 properly ?

Maybe you are still stuck on the fact you don't comprehend that you have to supply a SATA
power cable to a SATA drive not just a SATA communication cable.

For some yes. But it's blurry and you can't see detail.
For those who don't know how malware hides from analysis using a virtual machine (VM) or
via the MS API IsDebuggerPresent() you will learn something.

I don't want to fall out with folk about this, but *please read here*.

http://mobile.eweek.com/c/a/Security...-Users-114208/

To *GET* the text file, one *has* to visit a URL.

"Almost half of Internet users believe it is necessary to actually do
something on a rogue Website to be infected, when many attacks can
trigger drive-by downloads just by loading the page."

If nobody ever *checks* the Hosts file *URL* to *ensure* that a visitor
has not inadvertently triggered an *unseen* download in addition to the
text file, users *may never know they have been hit*.

Exactly the same thing applies in visiting Annexcafe or Aumha. If one's
AV is not triggered, folk will be unlikely ever to know their machines
are infected.

I'm happy to discuss further.

Dave.
