Wikipedia is your friend:

Actually Win 98 does have "hosts" file, but as patio said, AVG normal behavior.

      Mr. Broni,

      This is probably not really your job since technically you are finished with me but that "Malware" program you had me download I think was probably a one time deal right?  Cause it is Shareware.  I found another Malware program and it looks free and good and I was wondering if you could look at it.  I think that probably anyprogram you download even from Major Geeks could also possibly have spyware, malware etc. in it and also they jive you with how great the program is and you download it and it does find some infections but they want you to purchase it to delete the infections.
      http://www.malware-wipe-removal.com.removal-instructions.com/removeMalware_Wipe.html

      Thats the URL and I do not know how to put it own in blue so you can click it so you will have to copy and paste.

      If you can not do this I will understand.

      Which one do you have in mind?

      As for the other download, if you want your computer to stay healthy, don't download anything not recommended around this site, so my answer is NO.

        OK, I will not download that program I was just looking for software for my virus tool box but I will do as you advize.

        The program that I  downloaded which was a tremendous help and it found 109 infections  is shareware and yes I suppose I could find some $$ in next months budget to purchase it and this is the name of it I am keeping it for now I have used it a few times since and it is now showing no infections which is good ofcourse!

        Malwarebytes is free to keep, unless you want real-time protection, and automatic updates.
