This happens when someone, e.g. a system administrator,
forces a standard hosts file to be established via the logon
script.
 
Hello there,

if the hosts file not replaced when you logon locally to your PC, then the file could be replaced by login script or domain policy.
If the hosts file changes when you loging locally, then there must be a application or service that is updating or replacing the file automatically.
Try booting PC into safe mode with network support after making some changes to the hosts file, did it still get modified or replaced?
