In my hosts file I have several addresses under 127.0.0.1 to stop the popups.
This always worked well until recently. I started getting popups from "doubleclick." I checked my hosts file and all of the addresses I had entered with "doubleclick" dot whatever had been prefaced with the # character.
I thought it might have been because of a program I installed. I erased the # character and saved my file. I just checked and the # character is back again. What could be causing this...and why hasn't my anti-virus, anti-bot, anti ad software picked this up?
