My hosts File Has Been Changed Without Permission!

I Was Watching YouTube On My Phone, I Looked At My Computer, Alert From GlassWire Says:

System File Changed

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

I Go Checked In The hosts File And I Found This Line:

0.0.0.1 mssplus.mcafee.com

I Deleted The Line Since It Is Linked To My AntiVirus.

I Think It's A Virus, Please Help!

Hello,

This alert could possible be a bug from the Glasswire application. Confirm if your computer updated Glasswire to its latest version. We also recommend that you contact the developer of the said application for further clarification regarding the system file changed alert.

We look forward to your response.

Regards.

I Checked The Version, And The App Is Up To Date, I Don't Know Any Contact Means To The Developer of Glasswire, So I Couldn't Contact Him. But I Messed Around With The hosts File Before This Happened, I Added A Lot Of Lines, I Know I Haven't Blocked My Antivirus Link, So It Has Been Modified Without My Permission.
