My control panel is missing, How do I get it back?

it says : Restriction: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer, Please contact your system administrator.

Yes I am the only one who uses this computer and go on the same web sites since I got the computer. Control panel has been missing for about 3 days and I can’t click onto internet properties either.

Another popup also says: Warning! Potential Spyware Operation!

Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and Internet files. Run full scan now to pervent any unathorised access to your files! Click yes to download spyware remover…

I have already tried rebooting in safe mode, Spyware removal{{anti spyware} ,Antivirus. I tried to add Norton Antivirus 2007 but I have to remove my old version and can’t because I can’t add/remove software. Is there a way to make my computer like new without losing the factory installed software? I already tried system restore and that didn’t work either.

Thanks in advance: Chris

You have a nasty trojan called winavxx. It does exactly what you describe, and I tried all kinds of things to fix it. The one that actually worked, not only removes the virus, but repairs the registry and all damage done by the virus. Neat little program, and free as well. It is called Combofix. I finally found it in a forum, so I dont have the link, but it works perfect. Just do a web search, and inbetween popups you will find it. If you have trouble, I just posted missing control panel and restricted access on a search engine. But you should find it with little trouble, now that you know the name, and it will fix it perfectly!!!
