Hi Kinkie, Thank you for your response. Sorry but I cannot share the hostname because of some security reason, but the name is long (more than 10 letters). Anyway, I found the following in squid.conf.default. # TAG: check_hostnames # For security and stability reasons Squid by default checks # hostnames for Internet standard RFC compliance. If you do not want # Squid to perform these checks then turn this directive off. # #Default: # check_hostnames on Will the "Squid Malformed Host Name Error" be eliminated if we set "check_hostnames off" in squid.conf? (sorry but system scan is performed irregularly and we cannot check it by ourselves) Thank you.

Also, is this "Squid Malformed Host > Name Error" fixed by this version? Aha! No, unfortunately Squid 3 is not yet working on Windows. Contributions in terms of code or sponsored development are of course welcome towards that goal. I was asking the question because maybe the host name _is_ malformed after all, in this case you may want to see the check_hostnames configuration directive (http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/check_hostnames/). I cannot tell if the issue is fixed, because without knowing the hostname I can't tell if this is a problem in squid or in the system you refer to. Kinkie
