Thanks for your straight forward instructions, I wanted to do the opposite, and came across this in a google search. Has been the best straight forward help, i have found to date.

I hope this works- SP2 has been screwing up my MMORPG play and it’s the Windows firewall that continues to turn it itself back on that appears to have been the culprit. Thank you for the tip.

Great fix, but why not just go into the security center properties from the control panal and just “change the way Security center notifies me” and turn off all prompts? You can set it that it does not show any prompts.

I have tried the permanent method of patching and it worked quite nicely. However, when I tried to use it on another PC but wga-fix.exe did not change the host file. I discovered hosts wa s hidden and read only. I manually made it read write and ran host fix it again became read only and hidden and did not change. I tried to change -h -s -r attribute from command line it worked but again I tried to manually edit it with notepad. But when I try to save it gives error and hosts again becomes read only and hidden and creates a backup file. I tried to discover what utilty is protecting it i could not also i am logged in as administrator. There was spyware blaster on the system which I know protects the hosts file but even after removing it it does not help. I also disabled AVG anti-virus and zone alarm but the file still is protected and cannot be changed. How do I remove this protection. I am sure the protection is in the XP itself and not some hidden program do you have an idea how I can unprotect it?
