I have had a terrible week with major virus problems. I have run Spybot Security and it says I have Spyware Adware Coupon Bar which it cannot remove unless I run as the Admiistrator? This is my laptop and I am the only one using it - so how am I NOT the Administrator. Can anyone help a novice please. How do I check and make myself the Administrator?

If you click start, all programmes, find and open the spybot folder, right click the programme icon, run as administrator should be an option.0
