OK i dont know if this was caused by a virus since i did get 3 wierd files on hotmail called im a hacker...true love..and some other ones they were all 46-47k..now i am the admin and have lost all access to my programs and cant do anyhting basically my comp is useless I AM THE ADMIN but i cant do anything HELP

Do you have any anti-virus programs? I think the virus u have is W32.Yaha.E@mm. I am only sure that it is w32.Yaha@mm...i am not sure if it is yaha.e. go to symantec.com and go to the virus encyclopedia/ definitions. And check the virus name i gave u. download the tool and/or follow the instructions to remove it. Sri

If you are the admin and have your computer 100% up to date then its simple what you have to do. goto --> Start -> Set program Access And Defaults, and begin unlocking everything. That was just the first thing that came to my mind, the second is that maybe the ACL's (Access Control List's) were changed by the "virus" so just go to the command promt and type in "cacls C: /P Owner:F" and then press enter, if that doesnt work then try typing "cacls" only and view the options. The third thing that came to my mind was very simple. hopefully you have cable connection AT LEAST, so just open Kazaa or download Kazaa (lite version recomended) and download Norton Antivirus 2003 (full version of course), then download its definitions and put it up to date, and then just make a full system scan. If none of these work then the final solution is to throw your computer through the window, and then hit it many times with the baseball bat/ car and it wont ever bother you again ; )

yeah thats the one i just found it but it wasnt my comp it was my friends and they did have antivirus runngin but im not sure if it was updated but now nothing works not even the antivirus cause of no rites

MEEE thanks for the solutions ill give those a try rite now im on the symantic site they have a step by step thing which shows u how to get rid of the virus...the virus stopped all exe files from working hopefully by doing the steps i can reverse.but its taking time since im helping someone over the phone..im sure many of you have been there before
