Here's a prog that should do it all for you.

HostsMan

# Automatic update of hosts file
# Enable/Disable hosts file
# Built-in hosts editor
# Scan hosts for errors, duplicates and possible hijacks
# Hosts file backup manager
# Exclusion list
# Local HTTP server

That's OK, it may have been removed by something else, same with the other stuff I mention, if it's not there, it's fine.

Main thing is to clean the host file and re-boot.

[Philip]

Maybe be better if i can call you at some stage this evening or weekend, as i have a feeling i will screw it up.

Your hosts file is OK now.

Did you delete all cookies, cache, and temporary Internet files, then reboot before you tried to access the site?

Ok........so what do you know absolutely nothing about, I mean nothing!
Even a little bit is something....

I'm guessing it has to be pretty obscure...Polish street theatre pre 1903 perhaps...

Nah, that would be cheating. I know nothing about Polish Street Theatre, pre. 1903... However, post 1995...
