ClamWin: Vista ready?

I can get ClamWin to work on Vista when it is on a thumbdrive. But when you try to get it to work on the PC its self thats the problem. I get an error when scanning. Saying that access is denied. Anyone know what can be done to fix this?

Run As ...

It is probably trying to access the system drive or other folders that require rights, in Vista all programs are installed and set to work at the level (no matter if you have right or not), to do things such as change a file located within the program files folder, you must start the program with rights, just right click the file and select "Run as ..."

To understand what i mean, using Winzip, zip a file and then try to unzip it to the Program files folder, anywhere doesn't matter, and it will not allow you too, but it you run Winzip as , it will work.

It is a protection for you. Sometimes it can be a hassle. To set it to work as all the time, right click the file and go to the compatibility tab and check the box that says run this program as . That will make it run every time as , and you won't have the problem anymore.

Hope this helps,
