Advanced options
Windows Host file is NOT LOCKED
If this option is on LOCKED, the windows host file is write protected. A manipulation
of the file is no longer possible. For example malware is not able to redirect you to
undesired websites. This option is set on NOT LOCKED by default.
We recommend you to set the Windows host file on LOCKED. If you should use ap-
plications which access to the host file, like e.g. Spybot Search & Destroy, set the op-
tion on NOT LOCKED.
