Hi!

I have got no idea when am I always getting this Win32/PossibleHostsFileHijack warning message. I have tried to clear everything inside C:\Windows\System32\etc\host file but when I reboot, I still get the problem. I have tried to CLEAN, DELETE, IGNORE but still to no avail. So I am seeking for help here. Below is a screenshot detected by Windows Defender. I have done a full system scan with Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009. It did detect something is wrong and offered to clean it but still when I reboot, same problem. I used Spybot but nothing was detected. Please help me if you know what I should so. Thank you!
