I am running Windows 7 64 bit AMD w/ up-to-date security settings, and recently went to move things around and noticed I do not have FULL permissions on my own computer? When I tried to apply full permission in the Advanced Security Settings for Local Disk (C:), I receive a massive amount of errors: “an error occurred while applying security information to: C:\Boot C:\bootmgr C:\hyberfil.sys C:\Page File C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) (multiple upon multiple in the files and folders in this directory especially with Norton 360 remier Edition Folder/Sub-Folders/Files) C:\Windows Access is denied.” I have researched and researched EVERYWHERE, and noticed I'm not the only one and some people have been answered with, "If you cant change the perms, then don't". Well this is my personal computer and I spent MY money on it so I feel I should have COMPLETE OWNERSHIP of it. Any help would be most graceul.
