It turns out I don't even have that file.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts does not exist and when Spybot ran it said "cannot create..." that file.

So, what's next?

It might be hidden.

1.Double-click on the My Computer icon.
2.Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
3.After the new window appears select the View tab.
4.Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders.
5.Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders.
6.Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types.
7.Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files.
8.Press the Apply button and then the OK button and close My Computer.
9.Now your computer is configured to show all hidden files.

Now see if the Hosts file is visible.

Got ownership. Reran Spybot, then ran HostsXpert.  Here are the DDS logs:

Well that looks much better, but there is still one entry that bothers me. Please reboot the computer and run DDS again. Just post the top log, no need to post the second one.

Also check out your Google search and the results and see if there are any redirections. Let me know how your computer is running.

If I am helping you and you don't hear from me for 24Hrs, send me a PM Please!

Can you zip your hosts file up and attach it to a response?

Please replace it with the attached file. I edited out a single line.

Once you have replaced it, reboot your computer and then run DDS again and see if this line is at the bottom of the pseudo HJT section,

Hosts: 64.86.16.113 google.com

Let me know.

I thought I'd add some things I noticed that maybe you can look at tomorrow.

I couldn't download Adobe Reader nor Flash. I can download the .exe file, but system doesn't seem to run it.

My desktop is weird. My Recycle Bin icon disappeared and I see it in the "Desktop" folder, but not on the desktop, no matter what arranging I do by name/date/etc.

Can you run any EXE file?

As for the recycle bin, right click on the desktop and select personalize. On the left select change desktop icons. Now make sure that the recycle bin is selected. If it is, unselect it click apply then reboot and then select it again and then click apply. See if the icon comes back.
