Hello, can anyone please help with the following problems I am experiencing: a constant popup that calls itself Windows Antivirus, another that warns that my system is making unauthorized copies of itself. Also, I can't get into the control panel folder (even in safemode or as administrator). This all started as soon as my antivirus expired... I tried VundoFix and it didn't help ~

try to boot into the safe mode and scan your system for viruses.

There are several suggestions if you search this forum. Hopefully one will work. http://www.computing.net/cgi-bin/AT... Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

I got Norton Internet Security 2008 and did a full system scan in safe mode, it took about 40 minutes but I seems that it got rid of the popup. I still can't access the control panel. It says that restrictions in effect don't allow me to open the control panel and to contact my system administrator... My login is set to administrator. Any comments would be appreiated, thanx. ~

try spyware doctor free version; http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doct... http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack... uncheck everything except spyware doctor in the googlepack list, after install ,update and run a full scan.

It worked!! took about an hour and a half to do the scan but it worked. Thank you very much. ~
