    Uninstall xrecode II

    Download CKScanner by askey127 from HERE
    Important - Save it to your desktop.
    Doubleclick CKScanner.exe and click Search For Files.
    After a very short time, when the cursor hourglass disappears, click Save List To File.
    A message box will verify the file saved.
    Double-click the CKFiles.txt icon on your desktop and copy/paste the contents in your next reply.

    Microsoft's Host file should have been 'fixed' with the .bat file you ran. As long as it's running okay, I guess you're fine...


    BTW, The Hosts file does NOT belong on the desk! Network Administration: The Hosts File - For Dummies


    The "key-gens" you have almost certainly point to the fact that your copy of Windows may not be legit.
