I seem to get a malware and when I try to delete it, it says I must be administrator to delete it(I do not know the English version since I am not using an English version).

But the problem is I do log in as an administrator. What can be reason hold me back?

What antivirus are you using? – kinokijuf Jan 22 at 12:30
Windows 7 has 2 types of "admin" The Psudo admin, that is easily created and used, and the "Real" Admin , that is not normal for the system. The purpose was to keep the system more secure so viruses would not run under full admin , and other reasons of safety and security of the system. Which Admin were you? Did you try logging in in safe mode? The reason being, safe mode does not run as many items and drivers, in many cases (not all) the virus itself would be dormant. Another method would be to get into the disk without booting to that actual system that is infected. – Psycogeek Jan 22 at 12:39

You should seriously get an antivirus. Manually removing malware is not recommended. I recommend the free MS Security Essential – kinokijuf Jan 22 at 13:13

I would run something like Malwarebytes in Safe Mode before running Unlocker. There are too many unknown variables in the context of this malware infection. The disclaimer is noted :-). – Randolph West Jan 23 at 5:17
