HiJackThis Problem

[Bzarector]

Hey guys I have encountered a problem while running Hijack this. I load the application and when I hit system scan and log file I get a pop-up saying windows is denied access to the host files and to hit start/run type: notepad C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. This is where I get confused. I'm supposed to find the files that hijack this has highlighted and delete them, save the file and try again. But when I type this into the search bar I get a notepad file with a bit of text but I've got no idea what to do here. Any tips? Am preparing a log file.

That seemed to work. Here's my logfile:

Well my first suggestion would be to go into the Control Panel under Programs and remove all the Toolbars. They are nothing but trouble. That is where I see most of the problems coming from.

Thanks Ksod. I did that. All I could find was the uTorrent Toolbar.

Try using Revo Uninstaller.
