hosts file comments auto

Thread solved

Hi,

I experiment a strange probleme. I have to modify my hosts file on windows. I added IP adress and web site.

after modification, hots file run perfectly. But after a short periode, le ligne i added has a # at the begining to comment what I modified. 

Acronis have a protection module and ransomware protection, is it possible that acronis does that, and how to avoid that?

Thanks for helps

Regards

Philippe

Philippe, welcome to these public User Forums.

I have not seen any other users reporting any issues with changes to the Windows Hosts file being reversed or changed, and not seen this myself, but I would guess that you are in a minority in even knowing about and touching the Hosts file!

I can only suggest turning off Acronis Protection and seeing if this makes any difference here but suspect that this is coming from a different cause.

Hi Steve,

finally I found what the problem is. In Fact it's bitdefender which is responsible of that. Once i cleaned my glasses, I saw an option to avoid bitdefender to modify the host file. So now it's ok :)

Thanks

Philippe, glad you found the reason for the change reversal!  Thanks for the feedback.
