It would have been better to post this in the topic started for the problem.
Sorry David R,
I posted it under General Topics didn’t I?, I will try to do better. I am a newbie on forums so be patient with me. I appologize, and any help with how I need to do things in here is much appreciated.
Thank You,

My Host file has been modified again, since this post and 8 viruses have been found:
Probably DLOADER.Trojan were found with a program I use when my computer is acting funny and none of my programs find anything - it is DoctorWeb Scanner(Free)Dr. Cureit, and it always finds things. I have Avast 5.0, Spybot, and Malwarebytes on my PC, and none of them picked up anything. Is this Trojan what is modifying my Host file? I submitted an OTL.txt and haven’t received any new replies lately. I need help, how bad of a security risk is it when my host file is modified, as I know this maps your name to your IP address? I do internet banking and am worried of the security risk. I have quarantined the above. I need help here, anyone willing to help me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Lady GaGa
Now you need to change your signature to indicate what are your system specifications like I have and also Pondus has.
I do not use Spybot S&D but it does have a HOSTS file that it will insert but it is very outdated and not kept up to date like hpHosts and MVPS HOSTS files.
YoKenny,
Thanks for the Profile info. Remember I was a Newbie until today! I will get all the info. on my System, programs etc…and modify/change my profile to show these. As for Host files, a little confused on what you said about: Can I go to System Information and copy and paste some of the info I need to add to my Signature
I do not use Spybot S&D but it does have a HOSTS file that it will insert but it is very outdated and not kept up to date like hpHosts and MVPS HOSTS files.
I know nothing about Host files except that they map ur name to ur IP address, so I should do what re: Host??? Help YoKenny???
Lady GaGa
Note:I have not gotten any more help since Essexboy showed me two programs that showed in my OTL.txt and I told him I did not know what they were, should I post into Viruses/Malware Topics (can’t remember the exact Topic name right now)? I am really concerned this is a big security risk Trojan that has been found, and my Host file has been modified 5 times now in 6 weeks. Any comments on this???
YoKenny,
How did I do on my signature system information? Is it okay or do I need to change anything or delete any of it?
Thanks
Lady GaGa
Your signature looks fine.
Please read:
Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
Get rid of Spybot S&D as MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) is much better.
Firefox 1.9.2.3814 is VERY old as Firefox 3.6 is the current version.
YoKenny
Just read your Post to me from Octo 11, 2010 on Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File, will check out the link below your Post, and On Spy-Bot S & D,can I just uninstall it will out any problems. I already have the free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program. Sorry to be so long getting back into the forum and reading replies/posts. My Host File keeps getting modified to date and the only program I can download that is finding this is Dr.WebScanner for Windows (Dr.Cureit-have you heard of it?)It is not finding any viruses now just that the Host File has been modified. I finally the other day updated Malwarebytes enough and did a scan it found the following attachment, I quarantined first and then went back and deleted it. It did not show up in Dr.Cureit scan I did last night. Go figure. Isn’t it standard to have 2 Malware/adware programs and one Anti-Virus? So do or can you suggest if I need another Adware/Spyware program, a free one out there that you would recomend. I really don’t know anything about the Host File except that is maps your name to your IP address and what of a security risk am I at if it keeps getting modified? Your help is appreciate much. Also, attached Malwarebytes cropper of trojan recently found mentioned above.
Lady GaGa
YoKenny guess that Cropper of the Host file modified yesterday or today didn’t come through, so here it comes again. Will also update Firefox to the latest version, even though I don’t use it much. No one is online right now, so my ? on uninstalling spybot S & D without any problems, guess I will go ahead and do it now also. And update Malwarebytes - ? I have the free MBAM do I always have to manually update it since it is free as I have been doing or can I use the update via proxy…which I do not know what to type in to do it that way if it will update like that being the free version? Help YoKenny!!! On the Host file link you posted could or would you copy and paste just what exactly I need to do with Windows XP SP3 Home Edition from that page with the link, as it has a lot of other things for Vista and Windows 7 in there as I have never messed with a HOST File as have I with Registry Files…a lot not a little leary to say the least? If that is too much to ask it is okay maybe I will figure it out, I just don’t want to mess anything up…LOL. Have had enough problems between Host file getting modified everytime I turn on my PC or the download trojans over the past few months. One thing after another. At my Witts end. Any help is much appreciated.
Lady GaGa
Your posts are very hard to read.
Make each thought a paragraph.
If you do not use Firefox what do you use?
You have to manually update MBAM before running a Quick scan and I have no idea why you need a proxy.
If you do not understand the HOSTS file do not use it.
Hi Ladygaga wondered where you got to ;D

Hello essesxboy
I have been around just uninstalling some programs on my PC and running some scans.I think I finally got rid of the DLOADER.Trojan hopefully for good that I also had gotten on my PC when my Host file was being modified, as Malwarebytes finally picked it up.
I will do as you have stated with the OTL Scan and Submit the 2 files in my next post as you have asked.
Last few times I have been on the forum you were offline.
Thank you for your help, I will download the OTL program again and do the scan and submit in a few minutes.
YoKenny I appologize for my post being hard to read, I am trying to do better.
I use Firefox from time to time, but I use IE 8 browser more, I did however upgrade firefox yesterday to the latest version as you will see in my profile. (As you suggested in a previous post).
On the Malwarebytes updating, I was just asking if because I have the free limited version if there was a way other than manually updating it.
No I know nothing about Host files except that they are like the address book to your PC, and by it being modified so many times by whatever was doing it, it is a security risk in that it maps your name to your I P address.
I am still learning a lot of things, and hopefully I will be able to do more in the future.
Hope this Post is better reading, I am trying to take each of your’s advice when suggested something. I appreciate your help very much, as do I the other’s that are helping me on this forum.
Lady GaGa
Essexboy ???
Lady GaGa here!
Listen I did as you said…I downloaded the OTL to the desktop and did as you instructed: Here is the problem…when I ran the scan as stated below it is only producing the OTL.txt file, it is not bringing up the Extras.txt…what now? I have ran the scan just as you said, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do it, I run many scans that I download all the time when MBAM or Avast do not find things, so what could be the problem, could it be that my Host file is modified again and is preventing this scan to not run properly? Just doesn’t make sense does it? I have done screen capture’s to show you if need be that it is only producing one scan.txt result which is the OTL.txt and I did not change any settings as instructed…go figure-What now? HELP!!! Please look at Screen Capture of Program with the defaults when you download it, am I wrong when I saw (if you look at the defaults all of them show use safe list except for extra registry), if any Extra.txt file is to be produced with OTL.txt then why is this not ticked - it says NONE? Do you understand what I am saying? I have always done as told when asked to do a scan and not change any settings. Your help is much needed.
