The contents of the file should look like this:

Make sure that inside the text document that opens there are no extra lines or addresses to which the virus will redirect you when you try to get to a page on a social network.

If you find extra lines, do not delete them. Close Notepad and rename the file to "hosts.old".

Then right click on free space and select “Create Text Document" Give it the name “hosts” and copy the following text into it:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a samle HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

#127.0.0.1 localhost

Close the document and save your changes. As a result, you should get a picture like this:

If restoring the hosts file does not help, try using methods that allow you to remove the banner from your computer. Use antivirus programs and special healing utilities such as Dr.Web CureIT, which check the system and protect the computer from various types threats.

Account validation in Odnoklassniki and VKontakte

The browser does not access the Odnoklassniki and VKontakte websites, requiring you to validate your account and enter your phone number.

The text in the message and on the Odnoklassniki website and in VKontakte is the same: " Account validation. Your phone number is needed so that we can send you a confirmation code and make sure that you are a real person!

...This measure was taken in order to protect users from automated spam bots. Having access to the specified number, you can always recover the password to your page."

Account validation in Odnoklassniki and VKontakte

What is an account An account or account, as a rule, contains information necessary to identify the user when connecting to the system, information for authorization and accounting. This is the username ( login

) and password. The password or its equivalent is typically stored in encrypted or hashed form to ensure its security. For authentication, hardware can be used (generating one-time keys, reading biometric characteristics, etc.), as well as one-time passwords. Internet users perceive account

and select from the context menu Delete New modifications of viruses change the name of the file, but the essence remains the same. If in doubt, it is better to remove all shortcuts from the Startup menu. In addition, in some modifications of the virus, the script file is hidden in order to

remove account validation

you need to enable access to hidden folders. Now run the AVZ antivirus, you can download it.
