Be aware that this could be a warning that your pc is possibly trying to transmit a virus/worm but your HOSTS file has possibly been modified (by a legitimate anti spyware/virus) to state that any attempted connections to target ip should be re-routed to 127.0.0.1... 127.0.0.1 is called a loopback address by the way and is your machine.
