What OS are you on? If Windows-based, you can try booting into safe mode (F8 as you boot) and then try your deletes from there. This will limit the number of running processes, one of which may be holding on to these files.

There are some applications that only recognize the local admin account as the true administrator. Log on as admin and run it. Alternatively, at times the suspect files can become “locked” by account or OS processes. Boot in safe mode and run the program.

I’m not a huge techie but I can tell you this much:
in “User Accounts” in the Control Panel there will be the one or more accounts for your PC.
Clearly ‘you’ (however you normally log on) were not created with Administrator priveleges. ‘You’ RB (whatever you may call yourself on that PC have only normal user priveleges.
You need to find out from whoever set up your computer what the Admin. password is or look at your own account and see if it will let you somehow upgrade it to “Administrator” priveleges (but normally that can only be done from within an “Admin” account).

lol, this drove me crazy but is an easy fix.
Instead of double clicking Spybot S&D to start, on the desktop, RIGHT-click the icon on Spybot. An option menu will appear to “RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR”. Click that and you’ll be able to fix and repair whatever it finds.
Hope this helps.

I had the same question today and discovered that you hadda right click on it (the Spybot) to make it run as Administrator.)
Why delete it, though? It is good.

Do you have the Federal Administrator license?

I've been in IT since 1997, and have serviced damn near every industry in hardware, software, networking components, network admin, and I'm not above using software tools both sanctioned and otherwise to brute-force hack a system into complying. But there are times when there's only one recourse left:
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Actually log on the computer with the username ‘Administrator’ and then run spybot.

You need to contact your betters at HLS, since they are the über-administrators...

Deposit all your assets in an offshore account in the name of HAL 9000 then hit 'enter.' I think you will find that the problem has been cleared up.

Had the same frustrating problem myself with the same program. But it’s VERY simple - RIGHT click on the icon, and one option will be “Run as Administrator.” Click on that, and you’re in like Flynn.
