This is an easy one.

Find the executable to Spybot Search and Destroy, right click, and chooes Run As Administrator. The Admin account on Vista is similar to Linux. You are an administrator,
but to prevent virii, trojans and worms from running rampant, you have to explicitly tell the program how to run.

Good Luck
