Unlocker gives error that Debug Privileges

Asked By Mac Williams 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/17/2011

As I failed to delete something from my computer, I installed this software to do it. It was successfully installed but whenever I use it to delete something, it displays following error:

Error Debug Privileges

Check FAQ on http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/for more details” I looked at the FAQ at the manufacturer’s website.

It says:

""What are ""Error Debug Privileges""? It means that your Local Security Settings do not allow a Debug Privilege for your profile. Read Microsoft's documentation and set ""Debug Programs"" rights.""

What does it mean? I am at a loss,

 

Can anyone help me?

Hi, I've seen this method suggested across multiple websites.

This is essentially opening a HUGE security hole, it can defeat the protection of a limited account! virus that run with an account that has debug privileges have unlimited access (debug privileges) to your computer.

If your main account is admin then you should already understand the risks. Here's a better explanation: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20080314-00/?p=23113
