It should be:
Code:

#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost
Some pieces of malware will edit this file to block certain websites (or certain people like myself edit it just to fuck w/ people). For example, adding the line 127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com will block Facebook on any browser.
I've checked that file, looks exactly like that. I guess I gotta try scanning with another anti-virus
