Juice_Slowjamz 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2005 I had a bunch of spyware and the like on my computer so i DLed a few different programs to delete them. I just installed Norton AntiVirus on here, but I can't connect to the LiveUpdate to update my files. According to the program Security Task Manager something changed my "HOST file" to block a bunch of different websites, LiveUpdate being one of them. But when i try and edit my HOST file with Text Editor and save it, Windows won't let me. Does anyone know how to edit the HOST file? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
