How do i put a url in a host file and where do i find the host file to put it in?spyware

on a windows xp system the location of the file is.

\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\ click my computer, hard drive (i.e C:) then windows, system32 etc . system32 is in the windows folder, drivers is in the system32 folder etc.

you edit it with notepad.

this is the sort of thing you need to add to the file.

I'm not clearly understand your question description. Why do you need to use url on host file. It only help if the website you are browsing is using static IP. For trojan, you need to use at least 2 anti-spyware to scan it, the same thing to virus, you might have to go to safe mode to do that. You also need to backup your data before doing any scan job. Last thing, clean up your Internet Temporary folder and Temp folder in Documents and Setting\yourusername\Local Setting. That will help a lot.
