Maybe you get this error message because the DNS Client Service is not running. To check if it's running (and to enable it if it isn't), follow the steps below:
The hosts file enables you to add URLs of webpages you want to block, which will automatically be blocked in every single browser installed in your computer. Also, some viruses can modify the hosts file in order to prevent you from downloading an antivirus software which can find and remove the virus.
All you have to do to fix this issue is to open and modify the hosts file:
My Computer -> Local Disk (C:) -> Windows -> System32 -> drivers -> etc
Open the file with Notepad (right-click the hosts file -> Open with -> select Notepad). In the hosts file you will see other addresses which serve as an example and which you MUSTN'T delete. If you find a link associated with the website you want to open or with an antivirus software, delete it and save the changes.
