Hi, I’m getting this error: Local ran into a EPRM error when trying to update hosts file.

Reading the forum I found that a solution was to uncheck the read only property of the file. I did that but It didnt solve the problem. Can anyone help?

My Log file says this:

Hi Gonzalo,

Thanks for the log file.

Considering you already removed the “Read-only” attribute on the hosts file, my guess is that it’s some type of anti-virus or internet security locking the file.

If you are running anti-virus or internet security, can you share which one(s) so we can look into the necessary steps to resolve this?

Sorry for the trouble!

Hi Clay, I’m using kaspersky total security.

Got it, thanks!

Please see My Windows PC Missing hosts entry. This site may be inaccessible

Adding to that, you can add the Window’s hosts file to the exclusions list in Kaspersky and it should resolve the issue. See https://support.kaspersky.com/12160 for details on how to add an exclusion.

Here’s the path to the file that needs to be excluded: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Thanks clay! Is working now

Great, thanks for confirming!

I’ve went ahead and added a note about Kaspersky in Help! I’m running into an EPERM error with the hosts file on Windows.
