Hi. :)

OK installing a Host File with Vista can be somewhat tricky, so try this method and this will install the MVPS version as follows:-

Host File Reset/Replace:

Please Download HostsXpert and unzip it to your computer, somewhere where you can find it.

The root of the system drive would be a ideal location EG: C:\

  • Right-click on HostsXpert.exe and select Run as Administrator to launch the programme.
  • Check to see if top button on left hand side says Make Writable?
    • If it does. click on it then proceed to next instruction.
    • If not, just proceed to next instruction
  • Click on Restore MS Hosts File to restore your Hosts file to its default condition
  • When prompted to confirm, click OK.
  • Click on the Download button (lower left hand side)
    • Click on MVPs Hosts... button.
    • Click on Replace button.
    • Press OK in the box that pops up. (HostsXpert will now download and update your Hosts file)
  • When finished.
    • Click on File Handling button.
    • Click on Make Read Only? to secure it against infection.
  • Exit the programme.
As it appears this issue has been resolved,
