Hi, I am trying to remove Vista Guardian from my laptop. I already downloaded the HijackThis application and clicked the scan button and got this error:
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 and type:
Notepad C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
And press Enter. Find the line(s) HijackThis reports and delete them. Save the files as ‘hosts.’ (with quotes), and reboot.
For Vista: simple, exit HijackThis, right click on the HijackThis icon, choose ‘Run as administration’.
Please help. Thanks
