127.0.0.1 is your computer. Having a line with that address and some host name causes your computer to never access that host but instead check locally for whatever it needed that other host for (usually failing). People do it for example to block ad sites.
Why did you try to block guard.nexon.net? Guessing you did not do it manually, the installation for something shady (private server? hack?) did it for you...
It's not really 127.0.0.1. It's some other IP. I guess he didn't feel like typing it out.
