From time to time computers get infected by malware and the hosts-file gets hijacked - preventing the victim from downloading programs that could clean there computers. Is there a way - using cURL - to "navigate" to an URL circumventing the hosts-file. It would be convinient to direct a victim with an infected computer to use cURL to download relevant programs without trying to clean the hosts-file first...

Cheers, fbj
