Blocked Sites i need help please

[Jzjk]

Ok so i have blocked these sites through this:notepad c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and then I think I put a block on top of that so it couldn't be changed but I can't remember. If you think you can help me get the sites back unblocked that would be great. Thanks.

This was also through the command prompt

Try replacing the file. Here is a copy of mine - it is the default without any changes.

View attachment hosts.zip

so i put that in the command prompt?

 

[Dwarf]

No. Simply unzip the file (I had to zip it in order to attach it) and then replace the file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ with this copy.

 

[Jzjk]

I don't get how to do that

how do you unzip it

 

[Dwarf]

Save the file on your computer, then right-click and select Extract All...

ok i extracted it to the desktop

 

[Dwarf]

Now right click on it and select Copy. Browse to the location I gave earlier and right click again and select Paste. Confirm that you want to replace the file.

OK. Can you post back with YOUR copy of the hosts file (you will need to zip it) and I'll have a look at it.
