You most likely have an aberrant HOSTS file.



Search your computer for a hidden file called HOSTS. Rename to HOSTS.OLD.

Test.

Did you find your HOSTS file? It is a hidden file that can only be viewed if

you have the option to view hidden file and folders (and system folders

sometimes depending on operating system).
