When i open any antiviurs software website that is closed immediatly.?liveupdate



Malware has been known to modify your Windows HOSTS file to prevent you from getting help at an anti-virus vendors site. Perhaps this will help.



First check your HOSTS file located at



Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC



Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC



Win 98/ME = C:\WINDOWS



Be sure and check-mark "Show Hidden Files and Folders" and uncheck-mark "Hide Protected Operating System Files" in your Folder Options first.



Open HOSTS with notepad. A 'standard" MS HOSTS file will look like this:



# Copyright 漏 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.



#



# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.



#



# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each



# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should



# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.



# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one



# space.



#



# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual



# lines or following the machine name denoted by a "#" symbol.
