Your not dumb. But I don't understand what you mean by "when I search C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 two come up now instead of just 1"
The HOSTS file should not be in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder. It should be in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\etc folder.

I meat when I type into search on my comp two files of C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 come up

I'm sorry but I'm still not following. What exactly are you typing into the search box? Can you take a screenshot of the two HOSTS files wherever they are?

[BuffaloBill3]

its okay for whatever reason it just says the one system file now

Have you done the clean up procedures yet? If not, let's do those and then we'll see what we can do about the HOSTS file.

[BuffaloBill3]

yes have done all the clean up

[godawgs]

If you're still having trouble with the HOSTS file, go to the link I gave you in post #13 and follow the directions for the Manual Installation of the HOSTS file. Basically you will copy the HOSTS file and then paste it into the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder. When windows asks if you want to overwrite the existing file choose yes...overwrite.
