You should be able to right click the HJT shortcut icon and select run as administrator.
Does the Acct you are using have Admin Privileges?

Is HJT still giving you the message "for some reason your system denied write access to the hosts file."?

As I said last night, your HJT Log is OK - not to worry

How is it running? Any problems? What are they?

alright mate i can run as admin once i find hijackthis application but not when i right click the shortcut but as i said i think the application has dissapeared cos when i click on it in the admin account it comes up cant find parameter or something along those lines ,,,the computer is running ok but i get the feeling there might be a few files thats missing and as i go along ill have to do some cleaning up as im sure you know ,i did want one program to speed up ,intelli studio is a program for my samsung camcorder and when i create a film with it thats around 10-20 mins long and try convert it it comes up that it will take over an hour when it should really only take 10 mins or so ,,ive learned a lot so far and will have to be carefull from now on , the easiest way to have sort this would have been to get an external hardrive and move the files i need over and restart windows but i enjoy this way better and i learn more and im waiting to buy an external portable hardrive media player but need a bit of cash first ,,ive haven`t tried defragment of the discs or anything like that, most of my shortcuts dissappeared off my desktop but the applications are still there so not to worry but most things seem to be running ok but still holding my breath , so ill keep checking and ill keep scanning etc. and if you want me to try anything else on the computer just let me know ,i have malwarebytes on the laptop and ive avast and ive ccleaner but thats about it should i keep them and should i change or add any antivirus software??

 

Yeah, you really need to clean up and defrag your drive..
go thru your list of programs and uninstall things you no longer use, delete files and folders you don't need, etc.

After cleaning trash and unused stuff from your HDD you will be able to defrag and speed it up.

Use this as a guide to get you started:

wishing you all the luck and if you need any help I'll leave this thread on my list so just give a shout...

just a couple of issues mate ,,the computer seems slower than ever starting up and i mean even before it gets to the desktop page seems slower and also when im on the internet i keep getting a message saying stop the script? a script is running on this page is causing internet explorer to run slowly ???it seemed fine yesterday but something went wrong ,,first of all i tried to copy a data disc for my sister but when it got to 92% it had errors but i think the disc is damaged but on the other hand i was thinking with all the scans and fixes would it have deleted certain software or firmware for programs like eg. the dvd rom burner or img burn or anything like that but the other thing that happened was i tried to play/intstall the disc and it caused the computer to freeze a bit and then i restarted the computer and just a black screen came up so i forced a shut down and when i restarted it gave me the option of starting with repair and it fixed and deleted things and put it back to the last time it was working properly so a little setback at the min , appreciate your opinion , thanks buddy

 

heres a log file just in case ,cos the defrag is still not finishing >>>

Your HJT Log is clean………………………………..

I say again, “Go thru your list of programs and uninstall programs you no longer use, delete files and folders you don't need, etc.”

In order for the Defrag program to complete no data must change on the hard drive. If some data is moved during the defrag operation, then the program will fail.

After cleaning unused junk, programs and data from your Hard Drive, Follow these steps:

Disable Screen Savers, Power Management and More

Windows XP/Vista

To turn off the screen saver follow these steps.
1. Right-click on the desktop
2. Click on Properties
3. Click on the Screen Saver tab
4. Set the Screen Saver to None
5. Click Ok
Close All Running Programs
1. With no other programs open, Right-click on a blank area on the Start Bar (the area reaching from the Start button to the Time), click on Start Task Manager.
2. Click on the Process tab, then click on the User Name heading to group all running processes
3. Look under the User Name heading for the logged in user
4. Examine the list of programs running under the user. You should only keep explorer.exe running. To close the other programs, click on a program in the list and choose End Process.
5. Repeat step 4 until only explorer.exe is left running under the current user.


Extra steps before Defragmenting your Hard Drive

Empty Temp Files and the Recycle Bin

Its always a good idea to empty your recycle bin and delete any temp files before running defrag. Use CCleaner to do this.

Turning off Task Scheduler

If you have any scheduled tasks and they start while defrag is running, defrag will have to restart. For this reason, its a good idea to pause the task scheduler while running a defrag. To do this follow these steps.
1. Click on Start, All Programs
2. Click on Accessories
3. Click on System Tools
4. Click on Scheduled Tasks
5. On the menu at the top of the screen, click on Advanced
6. Click on Pause Task Scheduler
7. Close all open windows
8. To restart the Task Scheduler, follow steps 1 - 5 above, then click Continue Task Scheduler
Turn off Power Management

Because a defrag of your hard drive may take some time, power management features such as turning off your monitor or hard drives after so many minutes of inactivity might affect the defrag. To turn off power management, follow these steps.
1. Click on Start, Run
2. Type powercfg.cpl and press Enter
3. Under Power Schemes set everything to Never and click ok

Now run the defrag program and if your drive is not damaged, It should complete.

Avast i have found will scan stuff at startup even when surfing the icon continually moves as though scanning web page loading

Ok install thisrocessquicklink 2,when finished using it set it to not run at startup
http://download.cnet.com/ProcessQuickLink/3000-2094_4-75118734.html ,once running it will provide info on what every process is,read instructions or the write up on the download page

next install this:-ultradefrag set to run at boot time this is important as pagefile & hybernation file & system files can't be defragged once loaded,you can tell when it's finished as your comp will continue to boot into windows automatically,after windows has booted it will not still be running in the back ground & is why i use it
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ultradefrag/files/

Set pagefile to one size,windows usually makes it expand & contract as needed which in turn causes unnecessary fragmentation of a drive,set to a size of say 3gb or whatever solves that issue as you will now have a dedicated area on the drive for it,no other files on the hdd need be moved to accomodate it.


Delete adobe replace with sumatra pdf reader,basically find programs with minimal footprint & only run when you want them too
in control panel look for "java" set to not autoupdate & untick quick start etc,etc,

Your best option now assuming virus now gone & windows files ok is read up on improving performance for vista,as for IE it's a slow piece of crap,use opera or firefox or both,IE has it's uses i use all three

edit:most programs have auto update features i usually turn that off however it means you need to keep a schedule to check for updates

Lastly there are two programs that i use spywareterminator & system protect,both are free & made by the same people http://www.spywareterminator.com/,nothing can install without you knowing it 9 times out of 10 it will block an installation unless you allow it,if it does allow it will be a trusted program or you have previously allowed that process,the downside is it can get annoying if you install a lot of software etc,so it pays to use an imaging program like macrium reflect (it's free) or commercial products like ghost or acronis,however it's best to reformat then start creating one time images imo not after an infection or after the comp is operational with full software installed

Edit: if you decide to try spywareterminator enable HIPS,it will also scan startup programs when booting after scanning the comp will run as normal & at speed

 

left defrag running and think it finished cos when i came back to it just said scheduled scan enabled and it had stopped scanning but is that the way it happens or should i get a notice saying its complete , going to look over your advice now scorpz and ill see how i get on , thanks lads

 

when ultradefrag is installed & then you have gone into settings & ticked "windows boot time scan" then have at some point rebooted computer on next startup a blue screen appears,ultrdefrag has some text,it detects mouse & keyboard at which time you have option to escape defrag by pressing any key,however once it passes to analyse there should be some horizontal marks come up,then it passes to defrag,again horizontal marks come up near bottom of screen,you can escape defrag any time by pressing pause/break button,it say's so on the screen,however once defrag is complete the comp will continue to boot directly to windows by itself,if you leave settings of ultra defrag as is you will get a defrag at every boot,usually won't take long once first defrag is done,basicly once it's set you can forget it,How long it takes depends on the amount of fragmentation & amount of data on the hdd,if however you feel it's gone a bit long use pause/break to boot to windows,it does support vista so there shouldn't be any issues

 

ok seem to be getting there with most things , computer running a little smoother, defraged it and deleted a lot of programs,just a few questions to any of you ,on ultra defrag under fragmented it starts off up in around the 500's and quickly gets down to around 60 and each time i run it ive got it a little bit further down when i had time but then i ran it fully and it came up defragmented beside status but under fragmented it had 11 so is that it or should i get that down to 0 ,,another question is what does the optimize option do haven't tried it yet,,also is there a way to disable process quick from start up , its a great program that comes in very useful but if its running will it slow the computer down slightly,...my computer seems faster but sometimes my internet keeps coming up (not responding) for about 10 seconds before it loads a page , could that be a security issue , firewall isuue or anti virus ?...also can i run windows firewall with spyware terminator or is win firewall even worth bothering with ,, next question (sorry about all the questions )i get a lot of warnings from spy terminator but most of them are just from going onto safe internet pages , i do click on do this for this page from now on , so should i go to advanced settings and change something ,,any how lads your help has been exceptional and ive learned a good deal from you two , but don`t think ill ever learn how to read a hjt log like you oldgeek...keep up the good work and hopefully ill be able to give some advice to others soon

 

Since you've mention defragging. It might be of interest.
look appropriate solution for this. just refer to some pc health guru or PC Health Advisor on net.

 

ok your saying download pc health advisor ????....i think ive got far enough with the two lads advice and programs without pc health advisor , is it free ,safe and is it something that works or is even worth the bother,,are you given advice or advertising ???????

 

ignore pc health advisor it ain't free

windows firewall is fine with spyterminator

The warnings you get from spyterm when loading stuff is most probably scripts in web pages,you can use "change settings" in real time protection to basic & low that should help some make sure HIPS is enabled,as for updating change to server instead of P2P

Ignore ultradefrag's fragmented files since you only have 11 left some files can't be defragged

Haven't got a frak'n clue what optimise does...lol..

Don't forget you still need an antivirus software unless you still have avast

Edit:at some point you may want to do a reformat if not then it still would pay to use macrium reflect to create an image file of C (Note i said image file not clone),image files for lack of a better way of putting it is like an iso which can be re-deployed if ever there's an issue it will save having to re-install everything etc

Don't forget you still need an antivirus software unless you still have avast

 

lol, I am comment from this topic not mean I am advertising. I'm happy to participate every forum such as sharing opinion related to PC, software, hardware. Since I'm studying and taking up a course of Computer engineering I trained myself by way of reading and participating on the forum topic.
And about pc health advisor I've no hesitation in many times recommending the products because I currently using this.

 

lol ok mate....no just when you came in from no where with health advisor and nothing else i thought you were involved in the advertising of pc health advisor , any how thanks for your advice but think the programs that i have now running on the computer have helped a lot ,, is pc health advisor freeware ???

 

Nup trial only

 

Really great advise on many who posted, always learning something new, good work people.

 

Glary utilities has a registry cleaner its pretty good at deleting obsolete registry keys. ccleaner for getting temp file, history, ect. smart defrag (better than stock defrag for windows)much more efficient. These utilities will help your PC run faster and they applications are also free
