As the topic says, my antivirus cleared my hostfile.
I don't remember all the lines that I put in for different VST's.

Is there any Host-File "template" somewhere that I could copy? :o
(Or any certain lines you could point me to that should be in the hostfile to be sure)

Out of curiosity, what AV are you using?

 

Don't go @TonyG , you promised more power hours. I'm holding you to it

 

Seriously, an AV is supposed to keep my system files from being altered, not take up the job itself! I would holler at the devs and ditch it.
