hijack this freezes when i try to use it

just downloaded hjt use it this is the second time today i have tried to get it had it before but it disappeared but was still on my add/remove i uninstalled that one i should have left well enough alone. i just checked on it and it seems that it has thawed,maybe i should waited. but i have had a lot of problems downloading things like this. i downloaded the cw/hjt and checked properties it has a password and a login of "anonymous" on it. how do i open a password protected file when i have no idea of the password? o/s 98(a cranky one) got mcafee a-v zone alarm firewall,stinger, adaware, bhodemon.win patrol,spywareblaster,belarc advisor, big fix and hjt does not show up on my desktop,in add/remove, or on startup it is in c (i was trying to write a folder for it like that download place said to do but it said that i couldnt now what?

 

My method:
Double click on thedesktop>My Computer icon

Double click on the c: drive icon

Double click on the "Programs Files folder "

Right click blank area and select "New Folder" or use toolbar "File ">New>folder

Give it a name (or rename) of hijack or hijackthis

Download hijackthis from here http://radiosplace.com/ latest version 1.99 and point it to the folder I just created. It is listed on the lefthand buttons. Or more dirrectly https://ssl.perfora.net/tools.radiosplace.com/hijackthis.zip

Once downloaded, (it is zipped/hijackthis.zip)) I would extract it in this folder, either by double clicking on it or using one of my right click options. You endup with one file hijackthis.exe extracted. Click on it and it will install follow instructions. If using this for our security forum, click scan button - click save log and save to the folder you just created *DO NOT FIX ANYTHING* - copy resultant .txt file and paste into your next post.

At no point is this files properties indicating a password or login nor is the folder I put it in?????
