Should contain (when opened in notepad)

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

Get this

www.ccleaner.com

And clear everythign with it :)

Also get regseeker and clear out the history and tempory files and other stuff int here.

Nortan doesnt stop spyware very well btw.
And its reasonably crap for viruses aswell.

Go into the windows part of this forum and ask them what programs to use :)
