HijackThis warning??


Kay

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm not sure what the following means. I clicked on HijackThis just to look at the log and a warning message pops up:

"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:

notepad C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

and press Enter. Find the line(s) HijackThis reports and delete them.

Save the file as
