This goes out to anyone who useing IE.
I'm not sure if its OS dependent but go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\etc
and copy and paste the contents of your hosts file. Preferable if you don't know what it is and haven't made any changes. (You can open it with notepad)

Eww, CWS, what a nasty thing to get. 
Hope you got rid of it already.
And you're welcome.
//edited to add: If someone doesn't know it, there are chances their hosts file has been modified by a virus and they don't know about it?
Usually people think that antivirus programs does it all for them and they needn't know the technical details to double-check...
