I am running Spybot S&D with Microsoft Vista. I am now having problems with my Fix routine. There are some items I can't six because I am not the administrator. I am the administrator!! What is up with this?

How do I get Spybot S&D to understand I am the Administrator?

In Vista you must elevate the administrator rights in order run certain things within Spybot-S&D.

There are several ways to do that:
  • Elevate the administrative rights for a single running:
    • Instead of double clicking (left clicking) to start Spybot, right-click and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
  • Permanently elevate.
    • If you are running Spybot from a desktop shortcut for example, right click on the desktop shortcut and select Properties.
    • Then go into Application Compatibility and select "Run As administrator".
 
Right, I've run Spybot as administrator. It still says I need permission to get rid of the file. Whose permission? Bill Gates?
