How to open Spybot with Administrator privileges/as an admin?

September 25, 2018 - 2:38 pm

Windows may sometimes tell you that Spybot – Search & Destroy does not have the correct permissions to run on your system, or that you need elevated permissions to do so.

You can solve this as follows:

  • Open Spybot – Search & Destroy by right-clicking on the Spybot icon and choosing the option to Run as administrator.
  • This will require you to be signed into your PC using an administrator account.

Administrator accounts, by default, do not run programs as an administrator as this could allow malicious software to have administrator permissions on your PC.
