    Unhappy Spybot cannot remove 5 threats

    Hello,

    I have installed Spybot 2, and run it more than 10 times, but

    it cannot remove 3 top grade and two lesser threats.

    Help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Mike

    Hello,

    Did you open Spybot with a right click and choose "run as administrator"?

    Hi Sandra,

    thanks for your tip.

    However Spybot has removed some 96 threats.

    Only these five prove resistant.

    Regards,

    Mike

    Hello,

    And you tried to remove Incredibar with admin rights like recommended?

    The other items are only usage tracks which reappear while using the computer.

    Good morning,

    thanks.

    Yes, I followed your advice and used the right click 'administrator'.

    But why are "harmless" items listed as threats after a system scan?

    I shall try to remove incredibar once more.

    Kind regards,

    Mike

    Hi,

    I rightclicked on 'Run as administrator', scanned, "removed"

    but Incredibar is still there.

    Kind regards,

    Mike

    Hello,

    Please run a scan in safe mode
    That should fix it.

    Best regards
