Working on a computer with XP Home. I am signed in as the administrator, but whenever I try to do anything (such as disable some start-up programs) that require administrative rights, it tells me that access is denied and i need to be signed in as the administrator. I then booted it into safe mode, signed in as the administrator, and still had the same problem. Thinking this was a virus, I ran system analyzer, but no viruses, trojans, spyware, etc. It came back clean. Did a hardware scan with PC Doc, all hardware checks out fine.
I still think this is some kind of complex virus...is this a virus that my scanner missed? Whatever it is, I just did a clean OS install which, of course, corrected the problem. But, I'd still like to know what was actually causing that issue if possible.
