Default Hosts File

I was just evaluating Security Task Manager v1.6f, and when I run it I get
the message:

"The location of your Hosts File Was Changed to ""! The default folder is
%WinDir%. Fix it?

What do you think? TIA.

BTW Security Task Manager v1.6f is a third party program that tells you what
your running programs are doing.

My hosts files are in C:Windows. Except that I once had a program that
"collected" drivers that were on my system or something, and I put them in a
folder one of my HDD partitions. Perhaps that's confusing Security Task
Manager v1.6f when it sees these hosts files. Probably I should just ask
program vendor about this.
