HiJack This Problem

[matter92]

I am in the process of getting rid of viruses on my buddy's computer. He has vista and HiJack this V2.0.3
When I go to click run a system scan and save a log, it comes up with a message saying that the system is denied access to host files.
It says to run it as an administrator, but the message comes even if you do.
We tried reinstalling it, but that didn't work what should we do?
