Hi, have just run spybot, but when I try to immunise, I am told that I am not running as an administrator, so I cannot use this function. How do I get around this please?

Hello stevepugsley,
"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
There is also a screen shot, hope that helps.
Best regards.

I am using windows xp and the run as selection from the right click menu says "run as.." after selecting this it gives you the option to change to Administrator but this requires a password. I did not set a password. How do I then gain access?
