Hosts files are used by Microsoft Windows and other network operating systems as an optional means to redirect TCP\/IP traffic in special circumstances. These files are not required to use ordinary network and Internet applications.<\/p>\n<p>This file typically sits on your Windows PC without much happening to it.  However, there are times when a malicious program may make changes to this file to redirect your attempts to browse to a valid URL and send you to their spam or malware laden website.<\/p>\n<p>In order to get everything working correctly one of the things you will need to do is get the HOSTS file reset to its default state so these unauthorized re-directions do not occur. <\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.windowsobserver.com\/2012\/03\/20\/how-to-reset-your-pc-hosts-file-with-microsoft-fix-it-solution\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This post is excerpted with permission from Windows Observer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hosts.jpg\" alt=\"how to reset your pc host file\" title=\"how to reset your pc host file\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-29723\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Learn how to reset your HOSTS file to its default state &#8211; when malware might be causing unauthorized URL re-directions to occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":66012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[761],"tags":[4890,587,3930],"class_list":["post-29720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-windows-observer","tag-windows-observer","tag-windows-troubleshooting","tag-windowsobserver-com"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
