    Question Malware in host file?

    Thank you for replying but can you elaborate please? Why's it being blocked and why there? What makes it think that a mcafee domain is bad when mcafee is installed on the host?

    Question Malware in host file?

    A Nessus scan said the below entry in the host file is suspicious: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts : 0.0.0.1 scinstallcheck.mcafee.com Does that look malicious to anyone? I'm not sure how to confirm or deny that 0.0.0.1 scinstallcheck.mcafee.com is malicious.
