Hosts file gets updated automatically.
Hi,
Hosts file gets updated automatically.
Any idea why this happens?
Xp machines once restarted this happens.

It resets to default values? Or something new appears?
Does it happen only on one machine or in the entire network
If one or two machines then check for virus
If entire network then look through your login script or group policy

Do you have any active logon scripts or perhaps a registry key that does this? Check Start > run > msconfig to see if there is anything other than default set.

this happens in all machines when restarted
It add's few entries
No logon scripts
Msconfig clear
Also where in GPO other than login scripts i can see if something is set

Try to restart a PC unplugged from the network, see what happens then.
are you running some stuff like spybot? I saw several AV programs which used the host file for blocking webpages.
