I probably shouldn't open a new thread, but this is different than the spyware issue. All the help I got was great and right on, 5 hours of scans was worth it all nasties gone. I was following the help in my ohter thread and removed Norton, but now I can't access anything after loading, in safe and normal mode. anytime I click and Icon, or try to run anything I get: "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system admin...". How can I fix this so I can finish with what was being ask of on the other thread. Thanks
