    Could you post the text here? I feel a bit uncomfortable going to that site.

    Thanks. I thought you did a PC Reset.

    Try to Reset the Permissions of the Hosts file, by adding a Reset Permissions option to the context menu.

    When it is added, right-click the Hosts file and select Reset permissions.

    Reboot and see if the issue resolves.

    Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.
