Geoff,
great to see you my friend,
thanks for showing up!!
i reinstalled the OS, and the landlords computer is still the admin.
i got rid of the 2 trojens:good:
the security program runs now without an error message of “lack of admin rights”
all “admin rights” appear to be functional: is there a way to test this, such as when you move a folder from one place to another, for example, to test whether or not that you have “admin rights”?
i am able to install programs.
ODD THINGS
1. 2 name entries on the network section still appear, next to the admin folder
2. to open 1 program, it could not be opened with the standard single left click action, but rather ONLY opened the program with first a -- right click [menu pop up], select “open as administrator”. [why would this program not open normally?] the program only ran when opened in this manner.....
