is it safe to delete the info. listed in the hosts file? what is the use of this file?

secondly, whenever i start my pc i get a rundll error "lhnvbbbw.dll The specified module could not be found". I tried to recover the file through recovery console but the file doesn't exist in cd. i don't how to recover it. I also tried system restore but useless.

I know thats to many questions but ur suggestions r valuable to me.

you ask about deleting the contents of the hosts file? after all it is usually a very small text file and unlikely to be causing you any problems unless it has incorrect entries. It contains mapping information to other computers but in normal home use it is unlikely to contain any entries, mine for example has nothing in it except for sample entries.
I have googled the .dll file you refer to and it it produces no results so I dont know what programme uses it, it seems that your computer is trying to run some software or code on start up which uses that file, be aware that it could be malicious anyway. next time you see the message have a look in the blue bar at the top of the message window and that will hopefully tell you which programme is trying to access that file. then you can either uninstall it, delete it or try to find the installation software for it
