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.

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.
