Can't run Hijack This as an administrator

Hello,

I've been having some issues with my computer and ran malwarebytes. It only found a couple of things and said they were removed. While doing searches on the items it found I came across this site. I wanted to post a hijack this log, but when I can't run it as an administrator like the instructions say for vista. When I run it not as an admin I get an error saying it can't display the host files and a blank notepad doc appears. Hopefully someone can help me with this. Here is the Malwarebytes log just in case you want to see it.

In order to run HijackThis on Vista you must download the executable file, not the installer file.

http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/ ... ckThis.exe

Create a new folder on your desktop and then drag HijackThis.exe into that new folder. Next, open the folder and right click on the HijackThis.exe file and then select "Run as administrator" from the right click menu.

From there, you should be able to scan and save a HijackThis log. Start a new topic and post your HijackThis log in the new topic.
