Spybot can't remove everything

I scanned my entire system with Spybot. It gave me a list of malware it had found and asked me if I wanted to delete it. I said yes and this popped up:

"Spybot - Search & Destroy could not clean these entries in 5 attempts. Will we continue to try so. Do you still want to be informed about the results?"

The pop up has a Yes and No button.

How can I make it work?
 
Hello JimWP,

Which version of Spybot-S&D do you have and what is the operating system? Also did you reboot after running the scan.

FYI in case it applies. :)
"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

Best regards.
 
I downloaded the latest free version yesterday and I use Windows 7.

No I did not reboot after the scan.

It did tell me I was not authorized for a few things but I was able to click a button and get authorization since I am the administrator.
 
Hello Sir's! I'm new to the forum and am also having the same issue with flagged items. I am running Win7 64-bit and ran Spybot 2 as admin both in normal mode and safe mode. I'm still getting the same "Spybot - Search & Destroy could not clean these entries in "_" attempts. We will continue to try so. Do you still want to be informed about the results?" message. Here is a attachment of the items flagged.
