Not if that entry is
127.0.0.1 localhost
all that does is map "localhost" to your computer (127.0.0.1).
it's actually kinda useful to map othersite to your coputer, ie
127.0.0.1 media.fastclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
(from my computer) which will block ads from those sites.
now, some viruses will be evil and make it say
127.0.0.1 http://www.mcafee.com
so you can't get anti-virus software. that's bad. and if you see anything mapped to anything OTHER than 127.0.0.1 it means its redirecting somethign to a different site. Which is also bad.
anyways,
Viper
And shepherds we shall be,
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from thy hand;
That our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee,
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
