Hi a virus has managed to add a load of entries into the hosts file for a machine i'm working on..
All I'm getting is an access denied when i try and edit it. It's hidden this file in a strange way.
Even using this command is giving me an access denied. (XP Machine)
cacls "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" /G everyone:f
attrib -s -h -r c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"
Even tried taking the drive out to install into a different machine, but its one of those micro SSD ones with a different interface... ugh...
Tried going into safe mode, I'm lost on what to do, this is a 12hr job ahead of me and a drive into work to join to a domain if I can't get access to this &^%&%^ hosts file..
Any idea's please?
