Although this is an old school trick, many people still don’t know about this and a prank can be put on them! :d

Yup. This is an old skool trick. I came across to write this article after a computer at my faculty lab had been infected by a virus. And this virus has edited the HOST file and blocked all antivirus websites. So I hope with this article, people will know how to unblock the blocked websites incase this thing happen to them.
