    Unhappy Immunizing problem and fixing problems!

    Okay, I have a very confusing problem. My aunt bought this new laptop. Apparently, she got some spyware already, so I downloaded Spybot for her since it works great on my computer. She runs a vista, but my problem is that whenever I try to Immunize or Delete any spyware found...it tells me that I'm not the administrator. I checked and I am. I asked my aunt and she said that it is and she doen't have any other accounts on the laptop. So I need some help fixing this. I just updated it to see if that worked but no luck there. So please help me.

    Hello,

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