undo what I did
I was looking at how to tighten security and I did one thing I do not like and that was to change my host file ........... I want to change it back because I don't like how it operates

I went here :http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

I did what it says about changing the host file and I found how to uninstall but it does not make sense to me ........... here are the instructions they say to uninstall...

"[Removal Instructions]
In the event you do not wish to continue using the MVPS HOSTS file, you can simply delete the
existing HOSTS file and rename HOSTS.MVP to HOSTS (no 3-letter extension)
Note: none of the included files make any changes to the Registry or install any additional
files to the Operating System."

can some one help me?

Just go to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc to find the files the removal is talking about. Delete the HOST file and rename HOSTS.MVP to HOSTS
