Hijacker.Hostsfile
I don't know if you've noticed, or even care, but over the last few days there's been a consistent string of hits via Google from a search for 'Hijacker.Hostsfile'. This in itself isn't unusual, I'm sure I've talked about hijackers and trojans before, in fact I know I have - it's just that if you look at the search, Skip The Budgie is all down the page! I must have been pretty specific, but no - Google is indexing the searches and people are following the links, only to find that the only mention of 'Hijacker.Hostsfile' on my site, is down in the referrers list, because of the search they've just done. The bizarre thing is that none of these links actually lead to an article about 'Hijacker.Hostsfile'! So where did this insane loop start? *cue Twilight Zone music*
I just can't believe that me and that German site are the only ones who mention it at all, in the whole of the internet. Of course, now I'm writing this, it's going to annoy even more people because here is a story about it, which neither recognises what it actually is, or whether it is bad for your PC! Sounds bad, anyway. I'd try searching for 'hosts file hijacker' mate, you're more likely to find an answer!
