Default The IP addresses in your Windows Hosts File have been redirected

Lately I am a little concern about security on my computer.
Sometimes when I run Norton Internet Security check I get the above
massage.
My computer is not part of Microsoft net.
Any idea what is wrong ?

Chuck

================================================== =======

Do you run Spybot Search & Destroy?

"If "Norton Online Security" is issuing warnings during Spybot's
immunization of the process of the system's HOSTS file, I can assure you
that "Norton Online Security" is misinterpreting the nature and intent of
those entries being added."

You have a hijacked Hosts file. I could spend my day teaching
you about that file, but Hostsman is just so much easier. When
you run it, update it and select "overwrite". It can also scan the
Hosts file for hijacks. It is the best.

This is the worlds best Hosts file manager, it does everything,
including automatic hosts file updating:
