Spybot Won't Let me remove issues because it says I'm not an administrative

[craigfenton]

For the first time I tried to use Spybot but the 2 issues can't be removed because it says "I am not an administrator."

Why is this happening and how do I show I am an administrator?

Thanks,

Hello craigfenton,

"On Windows Vista and Windows 7, Spybot-S&D might tell you that you are not authorized to perform some actions, since they require Administrator rights. You can solve this problem as follows:

1. Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
2. Choose Run as administrator from the context menu."

From our FAQ here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/42.html

There is also a screen shot. :)

Best regards.

Thanks for reply but when you click start menu/spybot left or right click nowhere is an option for administrative use.

Any other way to get around this please?

Thanks,

Hi craigfenton,

What is your operating system please. :)

Thank you for responding twice. It is appreciated.

There was one more step before they right click would show the Administrator Option.

Have a fantastic Tuesday,
