When I try to run a HijackThis scan I get this error message. I have [bold]no[/bold] clue as to what it means! Any help is appreciated. "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\drives\etc\hosts" and press Enter. Find the line(s) HijackThis reports and delete them. Save the file as "hosts." (with quotes, and reboot." I got one choice to click OK. I click OK and this shows: "An unexpected error has occured at procedure: modMain_CheckOther1Item() Error #75 - Path/File access error Please email me at "...", reporting the following: *What you were trying to fix when the error occured, if applicable *How you can reproduce the error *A complete HijackThis scan log, if possible Windows version: Windows NT 5.01.2600 MSIE version: 7.0.5346.5 HijackThis version: 1.99.1 This message has been coppied to your clipboard. Click OK to continue the rest of the scan." Here is the log it gives me after the two messages: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 3:19:19 AM, on 7/18/2006 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.5346.0005) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\TPSrv.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\pavsrv51.exe C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\AVENGINE.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Ahead\InCD\InCDsrv.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe c:\program files\panda software\panda titanium 2006 antivirus + antispyware\firewall\PNMSRV.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr.exe C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched.exe C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\PavFnSvr.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Panda Software\PavShld\pavprsrv.exe C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\PsImSvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\AlienGUIse\wbload.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\ehome\mcrdsvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllhost.exe C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\apvxdwin.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\alg.exe C:\WINDOWS\ehome\ehtray.exe C:\WINDOWS\sm56hlpr.exe C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPLpr.exe C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\WebProxy.exe C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe C:\WINDOWS\SOUNDMAN.EXE C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\hkcmd.exe C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PDVDServ.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_01\bin\jusched.exe C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe C:\Program Files\NetZero\exec.exe C:\Program Files\NetZero\exec.exe C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\avciman.exe C:\Program Files\Panda Software\Panda Titanium 2006 Antivirus + Antispyware\psimreal.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Seth\Desktop\Media\Programs\(Program) HijackThis.exe R3 -
