Kumbas Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 So i installed Windows 10 but i don't like some of the sending crap to Microsoft deal, i was watching a video on how to disable some of the things that Microsoft uses to send data and information to them and was wondering if it would trigger anything. The video below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1kGMCfb2xw This is the program, don't really know to much about it. https://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=55 Virustotal Scan: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/6fd2790363b576a19858b2e67483bb4a578c6b00bda8a9c5ea6e93e789cd71e4/analysis/1464411765/ Its called spybot Anti-Beacon: Spybot Anti-Beacon for Windows 10 is a small utility designed to block and stop the various tracking (aka telemetry) issues that come with Windows 10. Seeing the bunch of incomplete or broken scripts to disable tracking in Windows 10, and the tools that install adware or worse in exchange for their function, we wrapped disabling tracking up in a small tool that’s free and clean. With the upcoming news about telemetry in Windows 7 and 8.1, Spybot Anti-Beacon has added support for those as well Quote
Kumbas Posted May 28, 2016 Author Posted May 28, 2016 Don't know why the virustotal scan thing is there don't remeber posting that. Quote
SuperTaz Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Don't know why the virustotal scan thing is there don't remeber posting that. I posted it so that people know the file is good and not malicious in any way. :D Quote
Kumbas Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 ah ok, didnt mean to post a file just a link the forums of the program but thank you. Quote

CU - DizzyKipper Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Windows Defender kindly replaced my modified hosts file this morning, wrapped up in a detected malware warning: Quote Windows Defender Antivirus has detected malware or other potentially unwanted software. For more information please see the following:https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=37020&name=SettingsModifier:Win32/HostsFileHijack&threatid=265754&enterprise=0 Name: SettingsModifier:Win32/HostsFileHijack ID: 265754 Severity: Severe Category: Settings Modifier Path: file:_C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Detection Origin: Local machine Detection Type: Concrete Detection Source: System User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Process Name: Unknown Security intelligence Version: AV: 1.321.98.0, AS: 1.321.98.0, NIS: 1.321.98.0 Engine Version: AM: 1.1.17300.4, NIS: 1.1.17300.4 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? Here are some links on it.https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/hvxu40/windows_defender_and/https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/all/settingsmodifierwin32hostsfilehijack/dab53827-1226-46ee-95a7-3e8e78a49f11?page=1https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/262099-hostsfilehijack/ Quote
