I have no idea how the HOSTS file was "updated", there is no unknown application on this PC (Today), to the best of my knwoledge. It might have been some old app, there was installed and then removed...but I have no clue ! Sorry ! As I explained before, I did all the basic to search for unknown apps/services/ports/traffic in this PC, and everything seems to be fine. I will be monitoring this PC and keep you posted if the HOSTS file get "updated" again.
