I put this Video up because this guy is very entertaining and a tremendous teacher
especially for the less Tech Savy.

COMMENTARY
"HOSTS" File HIJACKED !!
Not able to access a particular Website or group of related
Websites using Internet Explorer?
On Monday May 5th 2010 we could not access "www.google.com" but "could" access
Yahoo and all other sites.
To make a long story short the "hosts" File was "HIJACKED"
PATH = C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Inside the "etc" Folders is a file named "hosts" (No Extention)
In the "Scan Log" you read...
Scan Results: Unable to Scan:
File is a "DECOMPRESSION BOMB".
A decompression bomb also known as a zip bomb or Zip of Death, is a malicious archive file designed to crash or render useless the program or system reading it. It is often employed to disable antivirus software
Although Malwarebytes is now No. 1 in the area of scanning, Avast gives you "Real Time Scanning" live protection and Malwarebytes (Free Version) does not.
Avast 100,000,000 Users
I use Avast on all my Systems and my customers Systems as well as Malwarebytes and Winpatrol an excellent "INTRUSION DETECTION" software.
