    File Hosts permissions

    You're totally right ZigZag.

    This is the exact message I receive.

    Etc folder security properties show nothing set for Administrators group.

    Thank you.

    I appreciate all the information.

    We suggest that you create a new user on the same computer to check if the issue will persist. If not, it's possible that the affected user account is corrupted. An SFC scan is recommended to
    help you scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. To do this, click on this link

    Let us know how it goes.

    The screenshot shows no significant differences from the default and has only commented lines.

    Don't ask me why but that is normal, I actually had to check my hosts file to make sure I was going to say delete # from 127.0.0.1 and ::1 . It must be a new thing don't ask me why. It looks like Windows 7 and 8.1 are the same way now
