after adding HiJackThis shortcut to my Start menu - the entire Start menu froze forcing a reboot.
When running HJT, I get two error messages (both message windows were saved as jpg files if needed)
1) says my system has prevented opening the hosts file, and I should manually delete entries there if indicated by HJT
2) reads;
An unexpected error has occurred at procedure: modMain_CheckOther1Item()
Error #75 - Path/File access error
