Hey everyone, I'm having issues with my computer being blocked on several sites. The command 127.0.0.1www.example.com appears to be causing the block. In Notepad, I tried using the cmd and it worked, but I can't access other browsers. It seems someone blocked it for a friend of mine, and I don't know how to reverse it. Also, YouTube and Reddit are all down, making it tough to use the computer. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Begin a new Notepad as an admin by searching for "editor" in the Start menu, right-click and select "Run as administrator." Open the hosts file within that editor and follow @duncannah's instructions.
