Security Alert on startup

[Mark]

Every time I start a certain computer, Norton Firewall
shows an alert stating that 127.0.0.1 attempted to access
the computer using the netspy trojan. I know for certain
that this trojan is not on the computer but the warning
is given every time. Can anybody advise me what is going
on here?

Go to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\HOSTS" and delete
the Hosts file, then reboot. You can read the contents of that
file by right-clicking on it and open it with Notepad before
you delete it.
