A couple years ago I found a version of Kazaa had replaced my HOSTS file with one with hundreds of entries.I had broken images everywhere, it was even blocking ads from amazon.com.

The HOSTS file can't be edited directly because it is in use when Windows is running, but Hostman is a freeware HOSTS file manager that will let you easily remove any unwanted entries in your HOSTS file (or add some if you'd like).
