I am guessing NetCompressor is a site caching program for your puter, that 
operates on 127.0.0.1, and when you cached giga, and then deleted 
NetCompressor, the hosts file still pointed to NetCompressor, and since 
NetCompressor wasn't there anymore, it wasn't found.

Don't put domains you *want* to reach in hosts if you can avoid it, because 
the ip# for domains change occasionally, and you will need to manually 
change the hosts file when they do.
