Well, that's the point 馃槃

To be honest, I'm getting tired of Windows ecosystem bullshit.

@FadeMind can you take care of educating these people?

Only this ONE file (extensions\social\hosts) is false positive as Win32/Qhost (due HIPS ESET automatic rules).
This issue is for information purpose (and educating) for noobs.
Power users whos using custom hosts will be just ignore this misleading.
