Cannot change security profile in B9

When I try to change the security profile from low to medium, I get the following error message: "exception applying host file changes: Cannot create file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS". I checked the properties of the Host file and it is not read only or restricted in any way. I can go into the Hosts file from an editor and make changes and save it. Any suggestions?

You posted in the Mailwasher Troubleshooting forum, not the B9 forum that is a few down, no big deal but you might want to check down there to see if anyone has posted an answer to your problem.

Have moved into Benign Forum.
Not sure on this specific problem, Vista user ? ...you'll possibly get better luck from emailing Benign Support, changing Security Profile shouldn't need to re-save the Hosts file, so not sure why it's giving this error.

As per your message Jaydh2001, sorry I didn't realise Support asked you try here, Hamish our main B9 Support guy has had pneumonia these last couple of weeks, he only just came back to work yesterday for brief periods.
I take it you are on a Vista system ?
