We’d like to know whether there are any strange IP addresses at the bottom of the text file when you do not open it with the “Run as Administrator” option.

uhm, should it be blank?
if i run it as an admin it’s blank if i just open it , it tell me this which looks normal
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 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.

i did not copy it all but if i run it as an admin it heading changes from hosts notepad to untitled notepad. is that normal and if so what should i do from there.

Well, you should probably copy them and send them to us here, in the comments. If you do not want to do that, it is still probably better to delete the shady IP’s and save the changes to the file.

Hey Man, good day. Got about 9 of them. Might need your help.
