W3i.IQ5.fraud and administrator

Hi
Have just run Spybot and shows me I have W3i.IQ5.fraud.
When I try to fix the problems it tells me it may not work as I am nt an administrator.
I am using Windows 7. If I go to start, programme and left click spy bot, "run as administrator" is not there. If I go to profiles in Windows, it shows I am already logged in as administrator.
Am I missing something here? I cant seem to get rid of this and am a bit concerned.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rob
 
Hi. :)
You need to rightclick Spybot,left clicking it will just start the program:

Also,when attempting to run Spybot as admin from the start menu,make sure it isn't the Spybot folder you're rightclicking on.You have to click on Spybot(with the folder icon beside it),then when that opens,rightclick on Spybot to see the run as administrator option.
Or,if you have a Spybot icon on your desktop,you might find it easier to rightclick that and select Run as Administrator.
