Do not have access to hosts file
Hi all,
I've been trying to battle a little problem for quite some time now.
My hosts file has been encrypted with some different IP addresses which inevitably redirect me to some websites.
I have tried to open my hosts file through notepad as administrator, then take out the bad IP addresses and when I try to save I get access denied.
The hosts file itself is set to read only and I do not have "access" to change it.
My user account is the sole account on this PC and is infact the administrator.
tldr:
-Note pad administrator won't work with changing hosts file
-hosts file won't let me change securities parameters
I'm begging for help! I've spent several hours trying to find a guide and every single one says to use Notepad in administrator but that just isn't working for me
Edit-All these attempts have been in safemode with networking
