Ok, if you have windows xp you have to do the second part. If you are using another Operating System, you don't have to. when you have the zip file on your desktop (or wherever you saved it to), right click it with your mouse and click on 'extract files here' (depending on what program you use for your zip files, it may say something different, but you want to click on something that will unzip it) When you get the file unzipped, double click on and open 'My Computer' on your desktop, then double click on 'C', then double click on 'Windows', then double click 'system32', then double click 'drivers', then double click 'etc'. inside the folder named etc, you paste the 'hosts' file you unzipped. I hope this is easy to understand, let me know how it goes
Terri, There is NO need to change hosts files in order to search for files, as long as your connected use what you have. Here are the links to use to learn about the search functions https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/filtering_fakes.html https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/searcing_file__types.html FYI: NO ONE should be telling people to use a host file unless they are unable to use the .Dll to connect. Hosts files work but are slower, and have to be updated frequently, and also have no fuction in them to block the flooding. Its our beiief the .Dll is a better more efficient fix for most users. Thanks.....
