The "type detected" is 12 Hostfile entries.

That is 12 static IP address to domain name mappings in your hosts file.

It's a simple text file in Windows\system32\drivers\etc.

You can open it with notepad - just be aware that it has no file extension, and should be Read-only, so you will need to change the properties if you want to edit it.

Why not copy the contents and paste them in here so we can see what the entries are, and if they are something to be concerned about.

It might be worth doing a full search of your system to see if there are any other copies of the file tucked away somewhere that are being copied back at startup.
