    Angry Administrator

    In order to immunize completely, it must be set to administrator. So I go to check(right click), and its set as administrator.. So why does it keep telling me to set it as administrator in order to fully immunize, if its already set?!?!

    I have tried the suggestion about going tools and the host thing..Didn't work.. Am I doing something wrong?

    Are you running Windows Vista?

    In Vista you must elevate the administrator rights in order run certain things within Spybot-S&D.

    There are several ways to do that:
    • Elevate the administrative rights for a single running:
      • Instead of double clicking (left clicking) to start Spybot, right-click and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
    • Permanently elevate.
      • If you are running Spybot from a desktop shortcut for example, right click on the desktop shortcut and select Properties.
      • Then go into Application Compatibility and select "Run As administrator".

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
