RE: [Full-Disclosure] Windows hosts file changing.

["Austin Ehlers" <aehlers@comcast.net>]

Why are you browsing the internet on an Administrator account?  The HOSTS
file is only editable by Admin accounts.  Never never never do daily work
from an account with full priveleges, that's what the Power Users' group is
for.  Admin accounts are for maintenance-only (installing and configuring
s/w), not general work.
