You're the man behind me sleeping peacefully. No one on the internet show me what you did and it's pretty simple to solve. Thanks Nico, you're a genius!
@@NicoKnowsTech Buddy you are a saviour. I just wanna get rid of these trojan virus (i allowed them on my windows defender for a game installation , ofc bad result). If you got any video related to the removal of the trojan itself lemme know. And thank you 😊 🙏👍
I can't express to you how grateful I am for this video! I literally spent hours combing through the internet only to be advised to download an anti-virus. You are a genius!!! Thank you.
YO omg thank you so much I just removed a Trojan virus and I can’t access any website but after I saw this video, you helped me out by telling me this! Big w for you. You got ur self a sub man great work
Hey nico, i have a problem with the host file, when i opened it, it didn't have any ip address, only the top part which is those with # at the start. Really appreciated if you can help me out on this one. Great video btw
This is what happened to me. One time I got it off by downloading some kind of anti virus that wasnt really known. That worked and fixed it, but now when i tried downloading it again then I coulden't fix it cuz I needed to pay for it then. Then I saw a video about blocking sites then I knew where the issue was and fixed it.
Hey Nico thanks for your help! I just had a virus today, but I fixed everything, but I had the issue of not accessing virus-related websites, but you helped me to fix the problem, so thanks again!
I got infected with troj/krypt-rf and it did block some of the anti virus websites but watching this video resolved it, i then watched your videos on tronscript and used tron and i upgraded my antivirus, so my question is am i protected AND THANK YOU SO MUCH NICO YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!!
@@NicoKnowsTechi checked out the video on virus detection and it's mostly 1/76 on autoruns only that my windows defender publisher is not verified other than that it's all good✊🏻 thank you, you've earned a life long subscriber
This virus has been affecting my gameplay and social media. I have internet connection but it keeps failing. My ps5, iPhone and all of it won’t connect. It’s preventing me to go almost anywhere on here.
Hello nico cheers from Venezuela hope you can read this comment, I'm a very enthousiast pc gamer and I love to tweak stuff since 2014 and always doing everything manually, and I love to analize stuff with dpc latency, latency moon, and programs fro system internal web-site but thing is right now I feel like a bit rusty with these new viruses, currently I'm having an internet issues. like if there is something affecting my bandwidth my internet in general like having packet loss, jitter, high latency, poor download speed. and sometimes I cannot connect properly to my wifi, i had to remove my TP-link tlrwn722n adapter and plug my android phone and grab the wifi and share as wired cable, and that improves a bit. but even that, the way I solved this issues on my pc is by reinstalling the ethernet driver that my windows created when I plug my phone and share the internet i also checked my phone via speedtest and then via computer speedtest and seems like the internet on this pc is worse than my phone. I tried already tron, but problem continue sorry for my poor English, and thanks for your time
holy shit i cant express how thankful i am for this great video u have created i was stressing and searching all over the internet for solutions to the malware i accidentally downloaded i was about to give up and just call a repairman or sell my pc thank you so much man!!!
My 'etc' has more than one host file, it has 12 different file names, a 'host iCalendar' file and many 'host_bak_82' > 'host_bak_737' - is that normal ??
I have this issue too I think, i did all steps but not as administrator. Will it at least show me what you said to delete if im not doing as administrator?
I had to use a a VPN to install Malwarebytes but it still didn't get rid of the blocking websites problem, so glad I found this video. Thanks for the guide. I still feel like completely factory resetting my PC though for peace of mind.
I need some help please! R u connected to the internet while doing this. Because I disconnected from the internet and got some control over my computer but as soon as I connect back it has a message about windows and it restarts in one minute on a timer. How do I fix this please respond..
Okay, so! I have been searching A Lot to remove malware from my DNS Server, primary and secondary, but i can’t find the right video or help. I still have malware on my DNS after i did like a lot of things, my computer is restarted completely. And i search in virustotal i still have like 6 malwares i haven’t slept good in 1 week because of this. Help me out please
I reset my entire PC and nothing worked. My entire Internet access is blocked and I can’t go on literally anything. It’s not any specific website that’s blocked. It’s my entire Internet access. What do I do?
Please help me. My host file is ok but still I can't access google. There seems to be some very dangerous trojan. My wifi is connected but can't access any sites.
if you still cant change the file and it says you dont have the rights to do it open command prompt in admin (press windows type cmd and then press control+shift+enter) type cd drivers then type cd etc then type dir if youve done it right you should see all files located in the Directory of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc if done you type notepad hosts then you can save it with admin rights! 😁
Thank you so much! I have been having this problem for days and have followed many different tutorials but you are the one that has finally fixed my problem!

Thank you, Nico. The info on this great video was very helpful for me. ✅
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Nico I really appreciate how detailed you are at exposing things your awesome.
What if it shows 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1? Is it safe to follow your process and deleting everything under 0.0.0.0?
My 'etc' has more than one host file, it has 12 different file names, a 'host iCalendar' file and many 'host_bak_82' > 'host_bak_737' - is that normal ??
I have this issue too I think, i did all steps but not as administrator. Will it at least show me what you said to delete if im not doing as administrator?
For some reason it says nothing is blocked when my internet won’t work on my pc and I got 4 Trojan virus😢
I had to use a a VPN to install Malwarebytes but it still didn't get rid of the blocking websites problem, so glad I found this video. Thanks for the guide. I still feel like completely factory resetting my PC though for peace of mind.
Would love an extension video of what you use on your browsers!! Great vids!!
I need some help please!
R u connected to the internet while doing this. Because I disconnected from the internet and got some control over my computer but as soon as I connect back it has a message about windows and it restarts in one minute on a timer. How do I fix this please respond..
Oh my gosh thanks dude! I couldn't access some sites like discord or RUclips Studio for a month! I can't thank you enough
Glad I could help!
Unfortunately, I'm having this problem, but the hosts file has nothing listed in it. Is there another way malware could be doing this?

try performing a network reset in windows
I have a issue, I can’t actually find the local disc
for me, instead of 127.0.0, its all 0.0s , and when i removed all of them its still the same. pls help
Please help me. My host file is ok but still I can't access google. There seems to be some very dangerous trojan. My wifi is connected but can't access any sites.
did you fix it?
Is this the same as when we download a unknown virus and microsoft says to confirm it is us and blocks our network?
Help, i did everything but it tells me im not the administrator so i cant update the file, even tough i am the only user.
login with an Admin account
did you open notepad as administrator or just normal?
OHHH, so thats what happened, great tutorial!
Oh my God, you’re the best, thank you so much. All my projects have been on a pause because of this
You're very welcome!
if you still cant change the file and it says you dont have the rights to do it
open command prompt in admin (press windows type cmd and then press control+shift+enter)
type cd drivers
then type cd etc
then type dir if youve done it right you should see all files located in the Directory of C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
if done you type notepad hosts
then you can save it with admin rights! 😁
Thank you so much! I have been having this problem for days and have followed many different tutorials but you are the one that has finally fixed my problem!
Glad it helped!
I’m trying to get out of this just a moment screen so I can actually get to the desktop but I’m just stuck on this screen any help?
wow, this is golden tutorial thanks nico God bless
This is exactly the problem I was facing, every guide online said to download antivirus software and scan my computer but the websites were blocked.
Fantastic Nico Keep Up The Great Work
Thanks!
I did everything in this video. Good instructions. But when I checked none of the redirect is what I see. Its blank and I can't access tron.
@@derekduong7284 same for me did u fix it?
for me it doesnt work when i press save it makes a text document instead of changing the data in the hosts folder
Change the file type setting. Change to all files. It likely is set on txt
@@NicoKnowsTech will give it a try thanks for the quick reply
It wont let me just save it forces me to save as and create a txt file
Change the setting in the lower right to view all files.
I have done that but then it says this file is set to view only
You are really legend bro🙌🏻♥️
this man needs to be famous thank you for your help I tried so many ways I watched indian guy but nothings happen. THANK YOUUU

So I am having this issue right now, which program do I download to remove this trojan virus. Sorry I'm confused by all your comments & links below the video. Please help Niko, thank you in advance.
What if the virus is just disconnecting you from the internet whenever you connect to it? (Not that it's blocking you from sites).
try a network reset
It already deleted but still not work
Kaspersky is stated to be banned by the Us government. Do you recommend a different program?

Hey Nico - these videos are ace! Thank you. Have you done a video on a how to remove a trojan on a home network?
That's pretty advanced and non-precise for RUclips but that does interest me.
Hey nico i got a question. can you do tron multiple times in a row?
You could... but there isn't any benefit
I’m so confused. After trying to download a mod my internet access is fine but everything says no connection. This video is a different problem but I have no idea how to fix mine
Try a different browser.
Thank you genuinely!!! I hope you gave a great life ahead!
omg bro thank you so much, im not a bot or else but this really helped me out.
I'm on Linux. I swear Comcast is messing with me because I own a motorola modem, I can't access some websites even after factory resets.

how fast does the virus steal my data
I only have 2 files in System32
Hosts isn't the problem. There are tons of other reasons why the internet does not work
These comments are giving me hope
Didn't work. There must be something else blocking me somewhere else
Check your DNS settings
@@NicoKnowsTech thank you Nico. I'll try that...
Thanks!!!
what if it is 0.0.0.0?
That's essentially the same thing.
Not working
Try and network reset. Search in windows for it.
they blocked you from me too, I accessed you from another pc
Not surprised. Malware actors HATE my channel.
