    Unhappy Administrator

    I have used Spybot for several years and just recently purchased a new laptop. When I run Spybot on it, I am told that items cannot be fixed since I am running Spybot not as an administrator. I have checked everything I know to check, and according to my computer I AM the administrator, since I am the only one using this and the only one that has ever used it. Can someone please help me to figure this out since this is Zango with one Registry Value and three Registry Keys.

    I am so confused and cannot delete these items from my computer!!

    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you, TJ

    Hello TJMoore,

    "On Windows Vista and Windows 7, Spybot-S&D might tell you that you are not authorized to perform some actions, since they require Administrator rights. You can solve this problem as follows:

    1. Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
    2. Choose Run as administrator from the context menu."

    From our FAQ here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/42.html

    Hope that helps.

    Best regards.
