After I click "Do a system scan and save a logfile," shortly after, this pop up error message occurs:
"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 'hosts.' (with quotes), and reboot.
For Vista: simply, exit HijackThis, right click on the HijackThis icon, choose 'Run as administrator'."
In addition, at the top of the Hijack this program, it says "O1 - Hosts file redirection..." in red when this pop up error message occurs.
After the scanning is complete, another pop up error message shows up and says
"Cannot find the C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HiJackThis\hijackthis.log file.
Do you want to create a new file?"
Even if I click yes, no, or cancel, it shows a notepad that is empty.
How do I fix these errors and create a logfile for HijackThis? The logfile shows up, but not in notepad. It only shows up when you want to click on stuff so you can "fix checked."
