When we are logged in on Windows 7 as a domain admin (therefore local admin rights) and run Spybot as Administrator, a scan of one of our machines comes up clean. If we instead log in as a local user (who also has local admin rights), it finds a bunch of Adware. We're wondering if we need to log in a each user of a machine to find all the malware present, or if there is a way to have Spybot look through all profiles on the machine?
TIA!

To clarify please, you elevated Spybot's permissions? How can I get administrator rights under Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8? (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?55946-How-can-I-get-administrator-rights-under-Windows-Vista-Windows-7-Windows-8)
Which version of Spybot do you have: http://www.safer-networking.org/shop/
Also, how many user accounts are on the machine. Is this a personal computer, or a machine in the workplace? :)
Best regards.
