SpyBot S&D Problem

This sucks, I read a PC World Magazine article on some stuff about Spybot S&D. It told me to go into advanced mode, goto tools, and enable some host stuff. I was suppose to click on a button like, ‘Add Hosts’, it added a lot of server addresses that contains spyware so the computer doesn’t get it. Now, once I did that, everytime I sign on to Windows 2k, it takes 5 min to load the ‘Preparing network connections’ and even longer for me to even sign on to the internet. I removed Spybot, but the problem is still here. I Googled it, but I’m not sure what to type in.
