Administrator

[gypsy]

Hi, I downloaded some coupon bar and now it keeps showing up in red on my scan. I tried to clear it out,but, it keeps telling me that I have to have administrator rights. So I go into spybot and check administrator,but, it still will not allow me to get rid of this. Could you tell me how to get administrator rights? I am the only one that uses my computer so I am the administrator. I would appreciate someone explaining to me what I can do or what I might be doing wrong? Thank You

Hello gypsy,

"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."

There is also a screen shot which should help.

Best regards.
