for some reason i cannot log into msn and msn says its because something is wrong with my host files but nothing i do fixes it and neither can msn.

i tried letting msn repair itself, uninstalling then reinstalling and also i tried removing some possible virus threats. can anyone help me PLZ?

Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Open hosts in notepad.

It should say:

# 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.

#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
