May not have appropriate permissions to access the item error when starting SpyBot

[kandj91]

Hello, I recently acquired a virus that has since been removed but apparently has left some residual problems. I get the message above when trying to open Spybot. I also get it when trying to use Malware bytes. And I get another message that says I have insufficient privileges when I try to start or update Kaspersky. Aside from some my security software all other software runs fine. I tried using Inherit.exe to help things but didn't get anywhere. Can you help me out with this one?

Hello kandj91,

In case you missed it please see the forum FAQ which includes tips for this forum and also instructions on posting a preliminary DDS log: "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

Then start a new topic, copy paste the DDS.txt log into it and a volunteer analyst will advise you when available. :)

If DDS won't run please start a new topic anyway and provide a link back to this thread.

Best regards.
