Many thanks. That did the trick. Still puzzled as to why this problem arose - it wasn't an issue with my original W7 installation. Thanks again

I've recently reinstalled Windows7 32bit and have been trying to update Superantispyware Professional. Despite the fact that I am the only user of the PC and have Administrator status, as soon as I click on Update I get a pop up box saying that 'the update must be done from an account with administrator privileges' (which, of course, I have). Any idea what's going wrong?
