Find Out who reset HOSTS file ?
Hi
I have a custom hosts file which has a lot of entries redirecting back to 127.0.0.1 (this is normal)
One of my DNS servers is being updated, so I added a new entry to the hosts so I could get to my sites.
This worked fine.
After about 30 minutes I noticed I'd lost access to my site and when I checked my hosts file it's reverted back to how it was first thing this morning. All of my custom entries are there apart from the one for my server.
So something is monitoring and resetting it.. I've ZoneAlarm firewall and anti virus, avast anti virus and super anti spyware installed. I'm assuming it's one of them, but I'd like to be sure.
Is there any way to monitor the hosts file and see who/what is changing it ?
Thanks
