    I am running windows 10,using Microsoft edge as my browser. when I execute HJT I get the following message

    upload_2017-3-9_13-36-39.png

    when I hit of I get the next error message

    upload_2017-3-9_13-38-26.png

    Then I get the HJT log which I attached to this post. I have also supplied the file notepad "C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts", that I was told to review. I am at a loss. I read somewhere that my release of JAVA may be out of date. However I also received a message from java web site that you can not use EDGE to update JAVA. So I used IE. that did help, buy my JAVA is at the most reset release. I am at a loss. Need help. Any and all is appreciated. Thanks to anyone who gives me some advise

    Firstly, it is not a good idea to run HJT unless you personally are a Malware Expert because you wont have the knowledge to properly analyse it. Secondly, the images are not readable because you have not taken focussed window screen shots using the alt+prtscr key (instead of the ctrl+prt scr) combination. If screen shots you take are not easily readable by you, they aren't readable by anyone else.
    The underlying issue is this: if you think you have a malware problem, then post in the Specialist Malware Forum, having first completed the steps here:
    Read & Run Me First Malware Removal Guide
    Then post the scan logs in a new thread here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/index.php?forums/malware-help-mg-a-specialist-will-reply.35/

    This forum, ie the 'anyone can reply' is not appropriate for your issue.

    You are making simple errors again in your new thread in the Specialist forum.. MajorGeeks Malware Experts do not use, and don't want you to post logs from, HJT.
    In your new Specialist Malware forum thread you are meant ONLY to post the logs from the scans required in the Read & Run Me First Guide - nothing less and definitely nothing more.
    You have attached logs and screen prints they don't want and completely missed almost all the scans they do want from the guide you are supposed to follow, as in the Win 10 steps

    Just an FYI: You must use right click and select Run As Administrator in order to run HijackThis at elevated permissions so that you can access the hosts file and also for fixes to work. When you ran MGtools.exe for the Malware Forum logs you posted, you had not run MGtools.exe as the administrator either and it could not create all the logs it needed including a HijackThis log.
