Hosts File - DrunkYeti - 02-08-2019
Hello everyone, I want to know if there is a way to completely block access to the hosts file.

Hi,
Yes you could put the below into your blacklist ensuring you choose the correct Type and Value:
Type: Value
Folder Location: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Window Title: HOSTS -
The first entry would block the HOSTS file folder in Windows Explorer.
The second one should ensure that the file gets blocked in most text editors for example:
HOSTS - Notepad
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS - Notepad++ [Administrator]
Please try it out and let us know. Thanks
