Solve : Restrictions?!?

Answer»

Hello,

Using Windows XP SP2. Every time I start my computer, there is a process that I have to end. However, today, when I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del I received this error:



When I press Ctrl + R (run) I receive this error:


This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.


RESTRICTIONS ON EVERY SINGLE APPLICATION I NEED TO USE!!

Does anyone know how to get rid of this restrictions? Or is it time to get a new computer? Or MAYBE it's a problem with the owner of the computer?

I TRIED to remove the restrictions in REGEDIT, but it still didn't work.
I can't even shut down the computer because of these restrictions!

BTW: Will get into Safe Mode tonight and see how many infections AVG Anti-Spyware and AVG Anti-Virus finds. Ask for HJT log if required.*censored*! That's why I have restrictions! Serial99.com.

Lesson Learned. Looking at a solution somewhere else.Did you get it fixed?Well, sort of.

Luckily, the Turn Off Computer button was restored, but startup was slow.
Serves me right for being a greedy pig and TRYING to open a keygen.

I'll post a HJT log at Computer Viruses and Spyware.

Now downloading Spybot S&D (want to get rid of the guilt by uninstalling AVG Anti-spyware).Hi dairyman. I see you posted your last message at 5:15 a.m. I'll bet that was just before you went to the barn to milk the cows. Right?

Well, Spybot S&D is very good, but why did you uninstall AVG Anti-spyware?Quote from: SOYBEAN on December 03, 2007, 10:47:50 AM

LOL. I live in Australia, so the time is different here.

There is a memory leak caused by SVCHOST.EXE. I FOUND somewhere it said that it is due to a large HOSTS file and can be terminated without causing problems. So far, it hasn't caused any problems. The reason for the large HOSTS file is because I installed MVPS HOSTS.

Nopers. I don't go in there saying "Hey, what does this do?" or "I wonder what would happen if I delete that". After removing those keys, the restrictions were gone.

Ummm, how do I explain this: KEYGEN + AVG Anti-Spyware.
DOWNLOADED a keygen for AVG Anti-Spyware from Serial99.com, and that's when I had a virus infection.

Won't download any keygens again.

And like I said:

Well, that's how I feel.With a free version available why anyone would use a keygen baffles me...
