It looks like Trend Micro finds and flags entries that redirect to the local host, thus Trend Micro finds blocked hosts but does not display which hosts are blocked.

By default the Spybot S&D 1.5 Immunization makes such entries into the hosts file to block bad hosts.

With the high count of 'infections' Trend Micro shows (here 98), it appears to be a false detection by Trend Micro. It would be interesting to see which blocked sites are being found but Trend Micro Housecall fails to deliver this info.

For now you can ignore this detection by Trend Micro.
