Your desktop has developed its own intelligence and decided it doesn't want to associate with bad company.

Serious answer: not sure. I had a trojan that would prevent me from loading sites... but is microsoft.com the only website you can't load? If so, that's pretty weird.

Well, I had this problem with google, but after a while (like two weeks) it worked
I can`t remember doin` anything actually, only antivirus I had was AVG, and I don`t think that's the wonder

Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista: %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\ is the default location, which may be changed. The actual directory is determined by the Registry key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DataBasePath.
