• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

In order to immunize completely, it must be set to administrator. So I go to check(right click), and its set as administrator.. So why does it keep telling me to set it as administrator in order to fully immunize, if its already set?!?!

I have tried the suggestion about going tools and the host thing..Didn't work.. Am I doing something wrong?:scratch:

Are you running Windows Vista?

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".
