One of my friends has a virus on her computer (due, she suspects, to teenage son visiting unsuitable sites!)
Anyway I've been round and run malwarebytes (logs to follow) and tried to run hijack this but I keep getting a message about the hosts file. I have tried shift, right click and running as administrator but still can't get it to work. I'll post the log it produced (with the error although not sure it's any good???)
I tried to reset the hosts file (following instructions posted on here previously) using HOSTSXPERT but keep getting the error cannot create file c:\windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts.
This is the hosts file
74.125.45.100 urs.microsoft.com
74.125.45.100 https://www.securesoftwarebill.com
74.125.45.100 secure-plus-payments.com
I just left it running spybod s&d, which had found about 10 further entries when I left. Any advice on what else I need to run please and how I can get Hijack this to run.
Thanks

It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission

When you've got it clean, please put a decent AV program on it for her. A good example of the (in)effectiveness of McAfee.
Use Avast, Avira or MSE instead.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
That malwarebytes is out of date unfortunately. Should be program version: 1.51.2.1300, and Database version: 77150

After you've done another QUICK scan with Malwarebytes with the updated version and database, download OTL to fix the hosts file:
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/398-otl-oldtimers-list-it/
Run OTL, and place this code in bold into the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom:[B]:Commands [RESETHOSTS][/B]
Then press Run Fix.
OTL automatically asks for Admin rights, so you don't have to mess around with the Run As dialog for HJT.
You can also put [EMPTYTEMP] in there as well if you want it to comprehensively remove various temp files (more than CCleaner), and afterwards it'll restart with this command.0 -
After you are sorted, I'd remove both McAfee (http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe) and Spyware Doctor. Also I'd get rid of Java, and put on either Adobe Reader X or an alternative (Foxit, Nitro, PDFXchange, etc).
Edit: Also teach her not to listen to fake warnings. If you put new security on, make sure she knows what the legitimate screens look like, so she won't click on the fake ones.0 -

I fully intend to do that, thanks.That malwarebytes is out of date unfortunately. Should be program version: 1.51.2.1300, and Database version: 7715
Thanks, I ran those scans last week and went back today and reran the malwarebytes which came back clean
