    System-wide permissions


    Hello,
    I am trying to uninstall Malwarebytes temporarily on my system and when I go to the control panel under add and remove programs, I get a message that says "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Malwarebytes Anti-Malware version 1.75.0.1300. Please contact your system administrator."

    I am the only account on my PC and therefore the administrator. How can this be fixed?
    The last time this happened a few months back, I wiped my entire PC and started over from scratch. At this point in time, I don't have that kind of time to do that again.

    codyw,

    When you ask:
    How can this be fixed?
    Pressuming the issue you want fixed is:
    "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall (whatever). Please contact your system administrator."
    If that is the case, you may want to look at this Tutorial:

    As far as:
    I am trying to uninstall Malwarebytes temporarily...
    Try going to Safe Mode, and see if you can uninstall it from there.

    Thanks for all the responses. It looks like a general reboot fixed the issue. :)

For the last day (since April 1) I've noticed that there is a system-wide audio stutter. It doesn't matter if it's Youtube on Google Chrome or IE or music played via VLC media player, the song will stutter once for just a second then keep going. All the aforementioned software is in its latest...
