    Hello cootmaster,

    "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."

    Run as Administrator

    Hope that helps.

    Is there a reason your friend's Administrator account isn't pass-worded and he is having someone else use his computer?

    Best regards.

    Hello cootmaster,

    Please see post #6 in this thread: http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.p...43&postcount=6

    It's unclear who has an Administrator account on the machine in question.

    Permissions on the computer are set for its users by the Administrator.

    For software as it pertains to Spybot-S&D on Windows Vista and Windows 7: Run as Administrator
