    I am getting this notification "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    I am running in admin
    I only get it on a few progs my hijack this and avast being the main 2
    if i got to original exe file and make a new admin access the hijack this runs until i do a scan and then the admin access is deleated and the results dissapear from the screen before I can see them I tried to copy the log but it didnt do it...the avast is similar except it starts the prog then goes off straight away.
    I had several trojans that have been removed and nothing is running in the processes that I havn't seen before
    I tried restore but it wont

    I have searched for this problem but no one seems to mention about the admin rights problem

    any help would be really nice

    Try renaming the HJT exe file before running it as Admin.

    Hi

    Whats your Windows Version and Service Pack?


    Have you just done a repair install or please do tell us what has lead to this issue cropping up, was it a malware infection etc?

    hi again

    I got infected with several malaware and as far as i can see have removed them
    i did a boot time scan again and it found "Files\Content.IE5\Z6VE9GBX\CAHKUDT7.htm is infected by JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj]," which was deleted
    the problem still persists
    renamed and still does the same thing :cry:cry:cry
