New to this forum, I had system tool on my computer (grandchild is the guilty party), I followed the removal process, all went well until I had to remove my hosts files from windows system 32....doesn't exist in my computer for me to delete it. Can it be under a different name. I haven't taken the final step in deleting those files and reinstalling the default ones...any ideas? Thanks for any help (love your site) :thumbup2:

Hello.

Did you run hosts-perm.bat? It should make the file visible.
