Host File Comprimised

I will try that! But I also have another problem on Firefox now with maybe the same virus. Every time I go to www.espn.com and click ANYTHING, it redirects me to reimage.com then to another site of its choice. I tried removing from extensions on the browser, went to my Control Panel and Uninstalled whatever was odd or recent and it is still happening. Ive ran Hitman Pro and Malwarebytes to no avail. Any clue? :undecided:

Have you tried AdwCleaner from my previous link - but have a read through this article as a Refresh may get rid of any malicious add-ons.

This is how to reset the Hosts File back to default if necessary - http://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-set-the-windows-7-hosts-file-back-to-default

If you need to take ownership of the file, you can add Take Ownership to your right click menu by following the steps in this article - I have this on my Win 10 machines.
