Run scan as administrator?
My (rough) understanding of antimalware is that scans are automatically run using some special account that has (almost?) universal access. The System account comes to mind from past readings about this.
From what I observe, I am concerned that this is not what happens for Spybot S&D. When I start a Spybot S&D scan from a nonadministrator account, I do not see a special account doing the scan in the task manager. I sort the processes by CPU usage and SpybotSD.exe is the majority user by far. However, it is run under the non-administrator account. Does this mean that it will not scan as thoroughly as running it from an administrator account?
I need to do that as well
:scratch:I've got to malwhere on my lap top, it tells me I need to become an administrator as well, I've done what it says with the start menu, but I'm still not recognized as the 'Administrator' so I can't remove the threats to my lap top, can someone help me as well?
I look forward to receiving any replies, and answers, I'm stuck! thank you, j62janet:confused::thanks:
