Windows domain lookups are hardcoded into the OS to prevent things like...exactly the thing you did...from infecting the update or consistency check systems with malware from a foreign host masquerading as microsoft.
You have essentially prevented the system from using DNS system to find microsoft.com but indeed Windows is smarter than that and knows the IP address of microsoft.com ahead of time.

>hardcoded
sorry its not "hardcoded", that was a bad term.
Think of it this way:
your computer downloads windows updates (using DNS to find the update server)
it either:
stores the address of this "known trusted" update server in a system file, or the update itself writes that data to your system to be used in future updates.

No I'll your opinion over a KNOWN FACT that currysoft bypasses the hostfile, dumb low IQ /v/ cuck
>>55531191
>No I'll your opinion over a KNOWN FACT
You mixed those two up, sorry. your so called "known fact" is in reality just a bad /g/ meme, and you fell for it. what im saying is not a opinion, as ive stated before, its a fact. I can prove it, scientifically.
>currysoft bypasses the hostfile, dumb low IQ /v/ cuck
i have no idea what that sentence is supposed to mean sorry
>>55530350
>Using hosts
Always block shit on the router level.
> not a driver virus
I'm amazed what Windows virus writers can get away with.
Also, verify that it's not related to Steam. I've read that Steam does some DNS thing to combat cheaters.
