| 1422137 | 2016-06-20 10:09:00 | I wanted to add an entry into my host file so I open it up and W.T.F. Hosts Networks Protocol Services All files except the Imhosts.sam file are messed up. all 4 of those files when double clicked somehow now start up Mass Effect 2. Before I noticed a few random icons had change to the ME2 icon but the icons still functioned as they should. How could this happen and more importantly how do I fix it? Win10. |

Assuming 10 is the same as 7 etc viruses & and some anti-malware both can add entries to those files. And really mess them up. They are only txt files, just edit them with a txt editor as to them opening with strange programs when double clicked : dont double click files that have no extention set the win file veiw to show extentions (otherwise Win hides most extensions by default , just to make it easier for malware attacks ) & Win10 plays all sorts of games with changing default programs |
