You should be fine.

File Hippo is a reputable site where a lot of members get their updates from, which means if something suspect came down you'd soon hear a lot of warning shouts.

Adding this to the hosts file will block that logging site:
127.0.0.1  msjupdate.com
127.0.0.1  www.msjupdate.com

Complexity of incoherent design.

In xp go to c\windows\system32\drivers\etc

On the Hosts.mvp file (probably dated 21st June when you hover over it) right-click and choose sent to notepad.

It will open, just copy and paste those lines in (carefully!)
