Because it's been reset to default, all the entries you saw there were bad everytime you googled they redirected you to the ip address that showed up to the left.
How are the redirects now? my last post will have some information in if you wanted to run a hostfile.

If you want to install a Hosts file, then using HostsXpert is the easiest way to install one.

• Double click on HostsXpert.exe to launch the programme.
• Check to see if top button on left hand side says Make Writable ?
  
  • If it does. click on it then proceed to next instruction.
  • If not, just proceed to next instruction
• Click on the Download button (lower left hand side)
  
  • Click on MVPs Hosts... button.
  • Click on Replace button.
  • Press OK in the box that pops up. (HostsXpert will now download and update your Hosts file)
• When finished.
  
  • Click on File Handling button.
  • Click on Make Read Only ? to secure it against infection.
• Exit the programme.

Now post host file as you did previously.

hostfile info i know why- they were redirected...how ironic...great protection...thx !!!!!

i removed system look, gmer, and rooter exe...i couldn't find root repeal and bootlog.

CLEAN UP
Let's clear out the programs we've been using to clean up your computer, they are not suitable for general malware removal and could cause damage if used inappropriately.
Any logs you saved you may now delete.
Programs I had you download, ATF, good little application you can put in your toolbox,malwarebytes don't forget to update before running any scans.

The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bolded text into the Run box and click OK:

ComboFix /u

• Double-click OTMoveIt3.exe. (Vista users, please right click on OTMoveit3.exe and select "Run as an Administrator")
  
• Click the CleanUp! button.
  
• Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
  
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.
  

• Click on START - RUN and type in MSCONFIG go to the BOOT.INI tab and un check by /BOOTLOG
• Click on OK and you will be prompted to RESTART Windows. Please do restart now.

Let me know when you have done above and all went ok.
