Issue with WDSC Code Designer and SpySweeper

I tried using the CODE screen designer in WDSC and was getting an error. Turned 
out that WDSC needs to add a record to the local C: drive hosts file and point 
a name to an IP address on the AS/400. Changing the local hosts file is also a 
technique used by some spyware to redirect your browser to the wrong site so 
SpySweeper makes the local hosts file read only. Every time I tried to turn off 
the read-only attribute in Windows SpySweeper turned it back on. I disabled 
SpySweeper, changed the hosts file and CODE Designer worked.
