This happens as the result of a virus or spyware infection. When you visit a website like Yahoo your computer has to contact a DNS server run by your internet provider to convert "yahoo.com" to the proper IP address like: 209.191.93.52
To save time, your computer keeps a hosts file of what IP address goes to what name, so that it doesn't need to look up the IP address each time. Malicious software can add false entires in there, and effectively hijack websites sending you from yahoo.com, or citibank.com, or whatever to a different website (possibly belonging to a hacker) without your knowledge. It's a serious problem.
The result you see on the screen means that your virus scanner has detected this virus evidence and fixed the problem.|||looks like you may have downloaded a program from the net or installed a new hardware. Just try to delete it, or quarenteen it. And I would restore your pc to a week before this test result.|||Try this program---------
