has anyone had this happen before?

[blaircroft]

i dont understand it but i cant get into my control panel or any admin file it says
"that operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system admin." Anyone got any idea how i couldve done something like this

[Greg]

Could you have settings too strict in like a norton security or like that?

Maybe you need to login under administrator and give others access to the CP?

[bufordt]

There is some malware out right now that does exactly that. Google for "No access to CP" or the specific error message, and you will get loads of info.

yea i am logged in under admin. I play games online so my firewall is turned off and i dont have anti virus protection. Ive got several registry fix and all around scanners but they keep comming back every time i fix one problem something else messes up. The only good thing about it is that im now allowed to host games :) which is a fare trade believe you me. I need a free scanner but i cant find anything good. Also i keep getting windows security alerts saying

Don't download from that link it's a virus meant to trick you into downloading a fake anti-spyware application that then charges to "remove" a virus, when it actually does nothing.

Go to www.filehippo.com and download Adware Personal Edition & AVG anti-virus. Both are free, run the scans and clean out the junk.

A buddy of mine had something similar and I wound up having to run a batch script in safe mode. I forgot where I got the info from but when you run the scans it will tell you the virus's name then search Google for <virus name> removal and you'll you plenty of information.

the ad ware isnt working i googled the virus name Adware.iehlpr but i seems i have to buy soyware protection to get rid of it, does anyone know what could help me. Ive run the ad ware plenty of times but it keeps comming back. I cant even acess my task manager

Sometimes its much easier to backup needed files to removable storage and reformat the drive and install the OS fresh.

Sounds like this could be your next option.

[Greg]

Try this app, it's free. http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php

holy mackerel your not gonna believe this but not only did the anti virus not do the trick i now get detections everytime i try to open netscape and its the same virus and i delete it 20 times before it goes away while the scanner has no record of the detection ;O . TR/Renos.8192.2 I still cannot access my task manager, and now my windows media player isnt responding how can i possibly sort this out without spending money?

[Greg]

You need a bootable CD with AV I would bet then. But I don't know who offers a free one.

[blaircroft]

the antivir program has made it worse its slowing my computer down by bombarding me with the same detection and i cant delete it. how can i wipe the drive and save my content?

[Greg]

Try to boot in safe mode and uninstall it.

[lmnobs]

You prob will have to wipe the drive like Zero said but try this . Do a System Restore in Safemode .
