Could still be spywhere. If they messed with your hosts file they could redirect www.google.com to another site. But if your coworkers have it too, then I doubt it's your hosts file. Unless it is a virus that has you all infected.
Both googles work fine for me, as for your hosts file, it should be under: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc just called hosts with no extention.
You can open that under notepad, it should tell that localhost should redirect you to 127.0.0.1
If you find any of the googles in there pointing to an ip adress, get rid of those lines and the looking up will be left to the dns servers once again.
