Below is a msg I get when I click on the Search icon on
the tool bar:

Are you trying to get to Google?

Your comuter is running software that doesn't allow you
to use Google.

You're seeing this page because your computer is trying
to send you to a website that is pretending to be
Google...........

etc, etc, etc....

Waht Steps do I take? (This is still part of the msg)

The first step is to remove the entry for google from
your hosts file. This entry is telling your computer
where to send your computer instead of to Google.

etc, etc, etc......

What is this and what can I do go get rid of it?

Thanks for any help.
