While I understand that I use their services and that ads pay for those services, I don't like the idea of software violating my system like that. I suspect Google Chrome to be responsible for this, since the Google Updater probably has the permissions to modify system files - and it's in their interest to load their crap, but I am not sure. I have other lines in the same file, and they are left untouched. It looks like that is the only line to which this happens. The line 127.0.0.1 ad. has disappeared several times now. To edit my hosts file, I have to run Notepad with admin privileges or else I can't save my file. I don't know which application does it, but something in my Windows 7 Home Premium system (fully updated & legal) updates my hosts file. First: I can't find any information on this phenomenon, not anywhere on the net.
