    Problems with my account saying its an admin account, but i still have to run as admin for...


    My brother put in a new SSD into my pc and then tried to move my desktop and my OSto launch from the SSD onto it.

    And now most things wont start correctly or start at all with out me doing run as administrator, and even actions like starting up discord, will only start the launcher and do "Fail to update" unless i do run as admin.
    It was working fine beforehand and i don't know how to fix it

    :)

    Hidden Admin Account Infected - Help

    Somehow my windows 7 hidden admin account got infected. I cannot open regedit, task manager or any virus program.. in fact.. most programs wont work.. but my regular everyday account is fine.

    The problem is this: I have been infected in my regular account before.. and running virus tools from my hidden admin account fixes them.. but I cannot do the reverse now because my regular account doesn't have access to my admin account.

    I know what the virus is.. its a rouge antivirus.. it mostly annoying.. Programs do open up for a split second before this rouge antivirus program closes it again and then lies and gives me a message that says, " Cannot open this program, the program is infected" LOL

    Its putting a lot of adware on my system but not crippling it.. but only in the admin account.

    What are your ideas?
