SPyware blaster needs admin W11

Hi, sorry:
I cant get admin privileges to work for Spyware blaster for Chrome and Edge

Logged in as user with admin rights
Run S-B as admin

Open close edge and chrome
Open close S-B

No change

 

Hi,

Do you have UAC (User Account Control) disabled in Windows?

Could you please describe more what you mean by "no change"? What symptoms are you experiencing, or what are you expecting and not seeing?

 

Hi: Thanks:sorry, been away.

W11Pro 23H2
Yes, UAC disabled

New Install of 6.0 under Admin account
Run as admin..see attached picture.

Probably some misunderstanding on my part.

 

oops...

so when i click on the chrome and edge protection status links: get the message "Admin Required" and cannot view the status of either.

 

Can you please try enabling UAC, launching SpywareBlaster (which should trigger a UAC prompt), and then see if that permits you to view the status and enable protection?

 

Ok
Done
-"Run as administrator"
-UAC: Allow

No change.
Same issue
Sorry

 

?

 

Hi @Longboard

Try this:
• Open SpywareBlaster and press the "Disable All Protection" link under "Quick Tasks".
• Close SpywareBlaster.
• Go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it
• Download the latest SpywareBlaster installer and run it as Admin

 

So, interesting: SB will not allow me to disable protection "Needs Admin Privileges"

 

just to be sure: see pic

 

Hi,

Please try with UAC enabled, and then just launching normally (i.e. do not use the right-click "Run as administrator" option), and see if that changes the outcome.

If that doesn't yield a different result, we'll probably need some more details about any other system or security software you might have installed (or custom configuration tweaks).

Thanks!

 

hello,
a question
is this program still relevant today ?

 

SpywareBlaster provides regularly-updated protection for many popular, modern web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, etc.
Its protection is designed to work well alongside other security and privacy tools, ensuring you can benefit from defense-in-depth / layered protection without compromise.
