Hi
Your hosts file could be compromised by spyware, malware etc.,
edit the following file with Notepad:
Win95/98/ME: %windir%\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP: %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
If there is anything within the file, remove it (the only line that
usually is in there is "127.0.0.1 localhost" in addition to
the comment lines at the top).
