Good. Don't use it again.
"He", Christopher Butts did plagiarize the code and it is ineffectual with the
RootKit
that can accompany the non-viral malware infection.
I hope you did let it modify your Hosts file. If you did, you will find that it
blocks
LEGITIMATE anti malware sites!
If you have the file; C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ete\hosts that is greater
than 1KB,
delete it.
If you want to have a legitimate Hosts files you can get the original MVP Hosts
File where
Butts plagiarized that too but added blocking to legitimate sites and REMOVED
the blocking
of PCBUTTS1.COM
Borrowed from Siljaline...

How do you feel about making the hosts file "read only"?

It may help. It depends on if the utility changes the attributes or just
deletes and
replaces the file instead of appending to it.
