Yes, that is the original problem, the host keys changed.

Anita has no "problem," it is warning you that the host has changed. Trying to 
stop the warning instead of fixing the problem is like taking the battery out of 
the smoke alarm instead of finding the fire!

That's why putty can't detect that there's a problem, because it doesn't have 
the *correct* values, and so doesn't know that there is now an incorrect host 
key machine at the end of the socket.
