Open that file in some of text editors.
Delete every line that contains "microsoft"(without "'s).
For example:

127.0.0.1 Microsoft Home Page | Devices and Services

When you go to Microsoft Home Page | Devices and Services your browser gets redirected to 127.0.0.1.

i opened the host file by a notepad and that what was written in it

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
