Hi. Pretty new to all of this and a bit of a computer novice. Can anyone tell me why Spybot is telling me that it cannot elliminate all threats as I am not the administrator??
I have only one user for this laptop and I've tried right clicking the program and running as administrator.
I am running windows vista.

Thanks

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:
