- 11. Search windows for regedit (wont show up until fully typed out) then launch as Admin

- 16. Simply copy&paste all the text from here: http://pastebin.com/AAz4R7Sw
- 17. Paste it under the commented out example and explanation Microsoft provided exactly as it is formatted in the pastebin (should do by default)
- 18. Save it. Restart your PC
- 19. GO back to your host file and open it real quick with a text editor. Make sure it saved. Then copy one of the web urls (ex: vortex.data.microsoft.com)
- and go to it in a web browser. You should get an error about it not being able to resolve with DNS. You just blocked Microsoft's botnet data tunnels by leading it to a dead end (0.0.0.0).
- 20. Congrats, you are now as safe as can be from the botnet.
- ** If you REALLY, REALLY care, and you don't want Microsoft getting any snippets of your voice and what you say to Cortana, disable her.
- You can do this by clicking "Search Windows", then selecting the gear on the left.**
