Windows Defender kindly replaced my modified hosts file this morning, wrapped up in a detected malware warning:
This was taken from event viewer, since the taskbar warning would show me unless I signed in with a MS account, which I never made for windoze.
It's apparently because MS don't like the fact you're blocking them. You can exclude the file, but at your own risk.
Thoughts?
