Archived from groups: alt>comp>anti-virus (more info?)

Salve,
da un pò di tempo ho un problemino con il file "hosts" evidenziato dalla
scansione di AVG.
Mi spiego meglio. Durante la scansione risulta questo:

file: hosts
result/infection: change
path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Poi, a fine scansione, in "Virus results" appare questo:

object: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
result: change
status: changed

E ciò si verifica puntualmente ad ogni scansione, quindi il problema non
viene mai risolto definitivamente.
Qualcuno mi può consigliare cosa fare?

In C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers ci sono due files col termine "hosts",
ovvero:
1) hosts1.bak (file BAK)
2) lmhosts (file SAM)

Grazie.

Automatically translated text:

Hello,
In a while I like with a file "hosts" highlighted by
AVG scanning.
Let me explain better. When scanning is this:

File: hosts
Result / Infection: Change
Path: C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts

Then, at the end crawl, "Virus results" is this:

Object: C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts
Result: Change
Status: changed

This occurs punctually every scan, and then the problem
Is never finally resolved.
Someone may advise me what to do?

In C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ drivers there are two files with the word
"hosts"
Namely:
1) hosts1.bak (BAK file)
2) lmhosts (SAM)

Thanks.
