Hi,
I went to my hosts file to add some new entries and noticed the file type was "downloadkeepit" instead of .File I believe. I checked and noticed that every file which is supposed to have .file extension has this malware extension under it. I ran a full scan using anti-malware malware bytes software and it did detect corrupt entries and deleted them but still no change.
I tried using the fix for default extensions but that didn't help either.

I did a system restore to the earliest point possible but neither did that help. I have attached a screenshot of what it actually looks like.
Note : There is no sign of this software (Downloadkeepit) or any other malicious malware under "uninstall programs" and I have removed all suspicious addons / extensions from all my browsers.
