Hi, I'm new here but I didn't know what else to do.
Every anti-virus program I try to open (Spybot, AVG, Adaware, MalwareBytes, Avast! etc) won't open (nor in safe mode) and comes up with an error message saying: "windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item" although I am administrator. I've read about a lot of other people having similar problems lately but in my searches have found nothing particularly helpful.
Please help, I'm growing increasingly frustrated.
Sincerely, Kim.
