Is that an exact quote? If so, it would seem that its commented out.
Typically there shouldn't be anything in your hosts file - except
those things not found in DNS and which you want to reach by name.

As for the switch user functionality, when was the last time you rebooted?

Finally, there is a little known restore tool that you can use from
your install CD which will restore all system files back to their
originals (you'll need to google about XP system restore). I'd suggest
doing that only after you've rebooted and ran any antivirus, spyware,
etc., tools you have and then if they fail, boot to a CD and run
them....
