• 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.

Administrative Issues With Vista

Managed to get spybot updates to run as administrator [as seen on the ion] but cannot do the same for the app itself. I have seen something that refers one to settings but does not specify spybot or vista. Looking for some guidance on the correct configuration.
 
To get Spybot to run as administrator in Vista,you can rightclick the Spybot icon and select Run As Administrator.

Or,if you'd like to get the UAC prompt each time without having to rightclick,you could rightclick the Spybot icon,select Properties,Compatibility Tab,and under Privilege level,checkmark Run this program as an administrator,then click Apply,and OK.
