First, this is a new Dell running Home Premium. I installed Spybot yesterday and today I noticed it cannot immunize anything and says it needs administrator rights. When I look at Spybot in the the start menu, it has the icon indicating it is being run as admin is present.
There is only one account on this pc and I have verified it is the admin. One thing I did yesterday, when first running the machine was to enter a password. I later realized I'd have to intervene at every startup, so I removed the password. I think that creating the password and removing it all occurred before installing spybot, but I'm not sure.
Did removing the password remove some admin rights? This pc is run at home, so I feel comfortable without a password. Is there a way to verify that spybot is being run with or without admin rights?
Advice, please.
