Thanks. I’ll take a look at that Hostsman’s utility. So far I’ve done everything manually with a text editor.
I went through the process already. Using linkleecher.com I got a list of the links on the relevant avast.com webpages and compared them to my HOSTS file. Nothing matched, so it must be an invisible link. I know that links can be hidden by various methods. Either that, or there’s some kind of more basic malfunction of the HOSTS file on certain systems.
