I started getting this error when i access some web
sites. I have no problem with most URL's I can't access
Microsoft's Windows update and some other sites. The
problem started after i loaded the patch for the latest
worms.

In the event you can not access a site and you believe it may be due to an
entry in the HOSTS file.

You can use a simple batch file to rename the HOSTS file "on-the-fly".

My experience with this message is that it pretty often is
caused by some intermittent problem in the network,
traffic congestion or overloaded server.

Have patience and see if the problem persists before doing
anything dramatic.
