I did not have a problem editing the "hosts" file on Windows 7 with EditPad Lite (a free download and far better editor than Notepad). However, that COULD be because I had already changed permissions on System32 in the past...I've done that to a lot of folders while making modifcations for other things. I second the recommendations for Firefox AddOn "NoScript" (security software EVERYONE should use, in my opinion) because it neutralizes the most popular avenue currently for infections (via the Web), unless you explicitly allow a script on a dangerous site.

Also, "BetterPrivacy" is not the only Firefox AddOn to block Flash cookies, but it is the best. If you do gaming, you MUST read the instructions by BP's author in order to allow certain cookies, set up your gaming, and protect the cookies! I do not do gaming but I still remember this.

I personally think NoScript is as important as anti-virus software!!!
