    How can you be so careless in running untrusted software as true Administrator?

    I doubt that your specific computer is "under attack" from a hacker or the such; more likely that you have mal-ware present on your computer. Try running Malware Bytes on a full scan and see what it picks up.

    ESET is blocking the computer from accessing the address, which means something (probably malware orientated) on your computer is trying to visit that address!

    +1 for Malware Bytes
    +1 for Super anti-spyware

    spybot S&D and spyware blaster are handy to have if only for the lists of blocked sites they ad to browsers/hosts file/etc.
