Do you have administrator privileges?

Post a Hijackthis log so we can see if anything is blocking access.
.
Download and rename  HijackThis (http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe) (HJT)

• Double-click on HJTInstall.
• Click on the Install button.
  
• It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
  
• Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
• Close HijackThis and rename it.
  
• Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.exe
  
• Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename.
  
• Type in sniper.exe and press Enter.
  
• Right-click on sniper.exe and select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)

• From the desktop open Hijackthis.
• If using Windows Vista, Right-click and Run As Administrator.
  
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
  
• Hijackthis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
• Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
  • Do not have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

.
Although we have renamed Hijackthis to sniper, we will still refer to it as Hijackthis or HJT.
