Why does eTrust Internet Security Suite say I don't have administrator privileges?

This is because spyware/virus has edited your registry to REVOKE your administration rights... There are 3 possible ways to fix this...\n#1 visit http://www.ewido.com download this product (its free trial but allows you to scan and remove) install it and update it, run a full scan to remove any spyware. This may fix the issue.\n\n#2 Create a new user by clicking START>CONTROLPANEL>USERS OR USER ACCOUNTS> CREATE NEW USER>>\n\nCreating a new user will ensure that users administration privlidges are in place. Which will allow you to install it, and you need to switch to using the new user. The problem is you need to delete the old user once you make the new one, and if you delete the old user you will lose THAT users documents unless you have backed them up.\n\n#3 Format your machine, erase everything and reinstall windows after backing up your files such as word documents etc...\n\n\n\nViruses and spyware disable admin because they know the first thing people do is install security software to remove exactly those bugs... If it disables it succesfully you are basically screwed because you cannot install the software to remove the exact item which caused the problem.\n\nConclusion. Your machine is infected or at one time was. It doesnt matter cause the damage has already been done.\n\nFor more help on this issue try visiting http://www.geekstogo.com

you need administrator privileges to make any system changes, which include installing software, log into an administrator account and try again.

I think you're out of luck.  You'll need to speak to someone who has an administrator account on the system.

you have to go to Tools - internet options - security - custom level - and enable it

nothing is safe.\n\nhttp://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm

Try the offline Windows NT Password Editor.  Or alternatively try booting into safe mode and typing in administrator at the login prompt.  A lot of the time that USER ID has no password but can usually only be accessed by booting into safe mode

Its password protected for a reason.  Only the administrator can give you the password to gain access.

Not sure but it sounds like you may not be logged in as a local system administrator on the machine.  Try doing that and then rerunning the install.

Have the Administrator give you rights.\n\nIf he won't, hack into his account using BIOS cracking passwords. The link to most is included in sources.

You do not have the administrative rights to the computer. If you are at work there is a reason that you are not allowed to install software.\n\nIf this is your home computer, then somehow you have accidentally set up your windows profile as to not have administrative access. The only way to fix this is to use a profile that does have admin access to edit your profile to give it admin access, or create a new profile and have that setup as administrator.

If the machine has a default installation of Windows XP Home edition, there is probably no Administrator password set.\n\nThe Administrator account does not show up on the logon screen but it's easy to access it.\n\nPress CTRL+ALT+DEL twice.  You will see the standard Windows logon prompt.  Type Administrator for the account and leave the password blank.  Press Enter.  If no password was set, you will be logged in with full rights.\n\nOnce you're logged in, you can change the password for the other account in Control Panel.  While you're there, set a password for the Administrator account.\n\nIf there's an Administrator password set, you can go here for a cracking utility that works pretty well on most systems:\n\nhttp://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/\n\nAlso, most computer shops should have a copy of ERD Commander and should crack the Admin password for $50.00 or so.  It just takes about 5 minutes.  This will not break security like the above link will, though that isn't an issue with XP Home.

Hi, this can occur if you have not designated an admin password during install.\n\nyou can do this by going to start>settings>control panel>users and passwords\nset up that "users have to enter a password" This will allow you to do just that..\n\nWhen you are done, uncheck "users must enter password"  this way windows will continue to log you on as usual...\n\nhope that helps.
