You,
I have spyware & I can't get into Device Manager, Control Panel is off the start menu and its basically no where to be found. System properties is not showing - I keep getting this "RESTRICTION WARNING" message. & yes I'm the administrator! I've thought of uninstalling the Anti-Virus for now and deal with this one on one, but the problem is I can't access Control Panel.

Any ideas? Appreciated

You can remove the affected Hard drive, insert it into an external hard drive case and use another computer with anti-virus & anti-spyware installed, then do a full scan...

Thanks benn11,
Well I've done that & it seems a little stable after,I mean no funny pop-ups. The only thing now is that I can't access System Properties:Device Manager. The system pro_thru my compuer is there but cannot get through "Restrictions - This Operation has been cancelled due to restriction in effect on this computer,Please contact your system administrator" That's what I keep getting! I've attempted windows repair,still

Got it now !
Thanks

Just to make sure, Are you the systems administrator?

Yes I am. Junior

I know you have found the answer to your problem but I have a way to remove

Programs you no longer need -- It's called CCleaner -- And it is free

It removes junk files and problems that make your computer slow

In the TOOL section you can remove bad programs, and uninstall programs

I like to remove faulty programs and get a fresh copy that is updated

CCleaner download and review - remove junk files from SnapFiles (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/ccleaner.html)

I know you have found the answer to your problem but I have a way to remove
Lets share it then! & what's your position? Work wise

Hi,
If you are not able to login to the control panel try with all programes {local disc C}. Try to delete the software from all programes. Try to scan the system, locate the affected software and then manually try to delete the softwares.
