The hostfile is /etc/hosts, but you do not want to delete it entirely. That would likely create larger problems than you're experiencing now.

The thread starter indicates you should be able to "Revert to Default":

You should always be able to 'Revert to Default' putting your hostfile back as it was initially before running this program.
Have you tried that option?
