View Full Version : Immunize not working under Win 7 Starter

My O/S is the Starter edition of Windows 7 and I am running Spybot 1.6.2.46. When I try to Immunize I get a pop-up window warning that I must have Administrator status to run the routine. There is only one user account on the machine which is, by default, the Administrator. If I click the Immunize button after the analysis of Unprotected vs. Protected, it acts like the process is continuing, i.e., the "Stone Wall" icon animates, but never finishes. I searched the FAQs and forums for an answer but found none. Did I miss it or is this something new?

Hello,

Windows Vista/Windows 7 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/take ownership from the context menu.
You will find a screenshot of this problem in our FAQ:
