• 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.

Adminstrator rights, vista and S&D

Dear SD,
Great programme by the way!
I'm sure you will have covered this already. Although I am an adminstrator, search and destroy will not permit me use certain functions as I do not have adminstrator rights. I understand (possibly!) that this is to do with the way vista manages accounts and internal security.
Apologies if this covers old ground but I would really appreciate some advice.
Kind regards,
James
 
Hello,

Windows Vista might tell you that you are not being allowed to operate at the administration level of your computer.
You can solve this problem as follows:
Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu,
instead of just left-clicking to start it.
Then, choose Run as administrator from the context menu.
You will find a screenshot of this problem in our FAQ:

Best regards
