For the first time I tried to use Spybot but the 2 issues can't be removed because it says "I am not an administrator."
Why is this happening and how do I show I am an administrator?
Thanks,
CF

Hello craigfenton,
"On Windows Vista and Windows 7, Spybot-S&D might tell you that you are not authorized to perform some actions, since they require Administrator rights. You can solve this problem as follows:
1. Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
2. Choose Run as administrator from the context menu."
From our FAQ here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/42.html
There is also a screen shot.
Best regards.

Thanks for reply but when you click start menu/spybot left or right click nowhere is an option for administrative use.
Any other way to get around this please?
Thanks,

Thank you for responding twice. It is appreciated.
There was one more step before they right click would show the Administrator Option.
Have a fantastic Tuesday,
