Originally, I ran Spybot and Spybot found the following Malware:
Fraud.WindowsProtectionSuite (15 entries Malware)
Microsoft.Windows.RedirectedHosts (3 entries SecurityC)
When tried to fix, get following error:
Unexpected error in fixing problems (Cannot create file "C:\windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts". Access is denied)
Then, I installed ERUNT and HJT and received the following errors from HJT:
"For some reason your system denied write access to the Hosts file. If any hijacked domains are in this file, HijackThis may NOT be able to fix this.
If that happens, you need to edit the firle yourself. To do this, click Start, Run and type:
notepad C:\windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
and press Enter, Find the line(s) HijackThis reports and delete them. Save the file as 'hosts.' (with quotes), and reboot.
For Vista: simply, exit HijackThis, right click on the HijackThis icon, choose 'Run as administrator'."
HijackThis Error Details:
An unexpected error has occurred at procedure:

I'm feeling quite a bit in over my head at this point and any assistance you can offer would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
