I have a critical "hostfile redirected" item I can't remove or quarantine. The buttons just don't work.
Any suggestions?

That is a false positive and you can safely just ignore it and we will make sure that it is fixed.

Out of curiosity, though, when you were trying to remove the object, did you select it and click remove/quarantine but nothing happened? You did not get an error message or anything?

Well, I can select and check mark the object and when you move the mouse over the remove/quarantine buttons,
the shadow changes slightly and when you click those two buttons it changes again but nothing happens.
The System Restore button works fine and I haven't tried the Add to Ignore button.
