have u been messin about with ur ip/tcp protocals? maybe even unticked a box for register this DNS domain? or maybe even been havin a play in ipconfig?

anyways have a read of this it might explain it some: http://www.wilsonmar.com/1tcpaddr.htm
scroll to NetBIOS to IP using WINS, LMHOSTS, HOSTS

and a google search is a good idea.

if you have not installed Windows Update recently...
or installed any system programs recently...
or have never seen that thing before...
or is having problems with your computer now...
i recommend you delete that nonsense :)

If you found it in the Windows folder or program files folder, don't delete it. If it's somewhere else and you don't what it is, then delete it.
