Hi.... Have just installed Spybot on a friends machine with Vista home premium and everytime I try and immunise the system, I get the message

'This action may not be performed since you are not an administrator....'

I am logged on as an administrator.

Any ideas?
 
Hello,

Windows Vista might tell you that you are not being allowed to operate at the administration level of your computer.
You can solve this problem as follows:
Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu,
instead of just left-clicking to start it.
Then, choose Run as administrator from the context menu.
You will find a screenshot of this problem in our FAQ.

Best regards

Many thanks :bigthumb:

Andy idea why this is? Or is it possible to elevate my administrator status?

Cheers
