My account is an administrator one but I keep getting this message from Spybot...

You are missing administrator rights to perform this action. If you need to do this, please run this application elevated as an administrator.

Is this down to a Win 7 incompatability?

    Have you tried right clicking on Spybot and selecting 'run as administrator' ?

    Yes, makes no difference. I have 3781 unprotected files because Spybot could not fully protect because of the admin thing.

    Can you change the permission rights by right clicking Spybot and selecting 'properties' then 'security' ?

    I did that too. There were 2 entries 1 was my name and 1 was 'administrator'. I ran it after selecting each and the outcome was the same.
