Spybot problem

Johncurtis · 12-23-2009, 10:00 AM

I carried out a Spybot scan which detected several problems however when I attempted a fix, I received the following message: ERROR Unexpected error in fixing problems [cannot create file C:\windows\wininit.ini Access is denied]

I am using Vista and wasn't aware of any problems, this was just a "routine" scan. I did notice a similar question has been posted but cannot access the fix suggested.

Hi -

I think this is a Vista related issue. See if running Spybot via right click Run As admin helps.

You may wish to ask for help with Spybot specific issues in their dedicated support forum

Thanks tetonbob, that seems to have done the trick. Re-scanned and problems got fixed.
