Thanks Mike!
so then - mine is normal - I've never added anything to it -
this is it:
# 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

Hi Cris,
yes all sites you want blocked.
See; Use the Hosts
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,600736,00.asp
Whenever your computer connects to a resource on the
Internet, it
uses a Domain Name System (DNS) server to convert the
human-friendly
host name (such as \\Mailserver) or URL (such as
www.pcmag.com) into
an IP address. A little-known feature (lifted directly from
Unix) in
Windows 98 SE or later lets you keep a table of host names
and IP
addresses on your own computer. If this file =97called the
Hosts file=97
is present, Windows uses the IP address from the file
without
consulting a DNS server.
The Windows Hosts file can be found in
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
(In Windows 98 SE, the Hosts file is located in \Windows\.)
The plain-text Hosts file contains one line for each entry.
