Looks fine to me. Is there something going wrong that caused you to question

HOSTS file is typically only 734 bytes.

HOSTS file is typically only 734 bytes.

A number of spyware removal tools add a large list of hostnames to the hosts
file pointing to the localhost address, thereby preventing access to known
spyware/malware distribution websites and stopping known spyware which does
get onto your system from connecting back to the address where it would have
sent captured data.

HOSTS file is typically only 734 bytes.

That depends entirely on what's put into it. Mine, for example,
is *much* larger.
