I receved a message whilst running HiJackthis. It told me to find the hosts list in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts But I got here and it says 'Local hosts resolution is located within the DNS itself'. otherwise what is in this dir is 127.0.0.1 and ::1 both stating "local host".
Frankly I am supprised I remembered DOS at all. So how can I find the notes I am supposed to put here?
