ok will have a look at them. But I dont really understand what they are needed for, can you just delete the whole file or do you need to edit and save it.What will happen if I delete it and its needed

[Rik]

Don't just delete it, Baz. This is what my file contains:

# 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

just had a look and there are 2 files of the same size, one is called 'hosts' the other is called 'hosts.msn'. both have text in them starting with
'Start of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy' and seem to contain the saame entries, loads of single lines starting with 127.0.0.1 then a web address, some of them with obvious sexual reference.

I no longer use spybot search and destroy.

Cut'n'paste the one above into a new file, Baz, rename the old one for safety sake.

[Baz]

yeah I have one that looks identical to that Rik but others too with different names and bigger in size

[Rik]

You should only need one.

where have they all come from then

where have they all come from then 

When you first install Spybot, it's one of the things you can choose to install or not.  Copy and paste the large host files into another folder and add ".old" to the file name.  Then go into the originals and delete everything other than what's in Rik's (and mine), select Save (not Save as), restart your browser and see if it makes a difference.

that didnt seem to make any difference so I tracked down the drivers for the graphics, just on board stuff and downloaded the ones listed there and it looks ok so far. When I checked on windows update after this latest download, it said there was a new driver for the graphics. Looks like the one I just got and installed was an earlier driver than what I already had in so dont know whether to update again or not.

If it ain't broke...

Did you get it from the motherboard maker's website? Quite often, they have a very old drivers. If it's nVidia, for example, it's better to get it direct from nVidia.
