Hijack this help - system denied access to hosts file?

sunni

Hello

I was having problems opening up Ebay in Firefox, it would only open in IE so thought I'd do a Hijack scan - it brings up this - 'For some reason your system denied access to the hosts file. If any hijacked domains are in this file, Hijack this may NOT be able to fix it. If this happens you need to edit the file yourself. To do this click Start/Run and type notepad C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts press enter. Find the lines hijack this reports and delete them. Save the file as 'hosts' and reboot.

After doing that and it shows this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost


Not really sure what I'm meant to do??? Here's the scan!

right-click on HJT and Run As Admin...

also, the Hosts file you posted doesn't have any entries in it, all the lines beginning with a # are comments only.

GunJack

lots of toolbars in that log...do you really need them all ???

Not sure were they all came from as I only use Google so will remove them - selected run as an administrator and that hosts file message doesn't appear now. Those files at bottom of scan still show as missing - not sure what too do?

GunJack

it's because you're running 64-bit operating system, and it's a known bug in HJT. They aren't really missing

sunni

Anything else I should remove in Hijack this apart from toolbars?

GunJack

try posting a new log post-toolbar removal, it'll be easier to see the wood through the trees Also, you may want to think about the all the toshiba stuff and running at startup.....
