Need help getting started after downloading and running erunt (ran correctly) proceeded to download HiJackThis which doesn't copy the scan to notepad. Prompting "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 file yourself. To do this, click Start, Run, and Type: notepadC:\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 ion, choose 'Run as adminstrator'
This option is not there on a right click. HijackThis ran the scan but couldnt/wouldnt sent it to notepad which came up. please advice on getting me started so i can send the logs on notepad. need to know if i have malware running on my computer... thankyou. Col
