How can I block incoming traffic?
David H. Lipman replied to CBrauer's topic in General Windows PC Help
The etc/hosts file is about name to IP address resolution. Not about blocking ingress or egress. What you show in your graphic is not a correct way to use the etc/hosts table. To block an IP you would use the Windows Firewall or block the IP on the LAN's Router. Using the Windows Firewall only affects that PC. If you want all devices and computers to have that IP blocked, place the block on the Router. Here is a proper example. It shows that the Domain and Sub-Domains on the right are ASSIGNED an address and is telling the OS not to use DNS for resolution. In the below exmp -

can a mp4 file have a virus?
David H. Lipman replied to william12345's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
I went to that web site and tried to "play" a video in Firefox and Edge. The site wanted me to install a Plug-In to play that video in Firefox and in Edge it gave me a web site that wanted me to install a plug-in to "free memory". I would not consider soap2day.to to be a legitimate site and was created in December 2019 so it just a tad over a year old. -
can a mp4 file have a virus?
David H. Lipman replied to william12345's topic in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
@william12345 No. A virus is a executable file or code that is prepended, appended or cavity injected into a legitimate file and is able to self replicate. Once infected, that infected file can further the infection by infecting other legitimate files. Or the infection can spread from computer to computer. Such code or executable self replicates. That is it is able to spread on its own and without assistance. On the other hand, trojans need assistance to spread. There are trojans that also prepends, appends or cavity injects malicious code into a legitimate file. However, the acti -

Ross Scott: "The GUI should be better. A lot better."
David H. Lipman replied to Amaroq_Starwind's topic in General Chat
Old mechanical typewriter character striking arms could get stuck against another if one typed too fast. One had to physically separate striking arms. So a keypad was designed to slow one's typing down to mitigate striking arm conflicts. Thus was born the QWERTY keyboard. Even after there were electric typewriters using Ball and Thimble print heads, the QWERTY layout was the de-facto standard where there were no striking arms to get stuck against each other. Subsequently the QWERTY standard layout was inherited by computers. Everyone knew the layout and were accustomed to it. -
