Q: 

random external websites redirect to localhost

Hi,

I am running windows vista and recently installed xampp lite 1.7.3 to do some web development. I don't know if it is related to the install or something else, but now navigating to the page "www.pastebin.com" redirects me to my localhost.

The url redirects to "www.pastebin.com/xampp" on my local hosts.

I tried deleting my hosts file but that did not fix the probelm.

Any advice? ~Roy
