Do the fix I just posted.
When I closed and clicked "fix checked", i got a message saying, "HJT could not write the selected changes to your host files. The probable cause is that some program is denying access to it, or your user account doesn't have the rights to write to it" Later, I also got an error message, "Unexpected error occurred at procedure:ModMain_FixOther1Item(sItem=01-Hosts:69.20.16.183 search.netscape.com) error #70 permission denied. And another one exactly the same for ieautosearch.
Here is the copy of the new log files:
