If I open control panel and check up my security status or device manager or for example another system settings it's just saying the same!!I can't even run my antivirus.What is going wrong?Is my comp infected or something?
Ive got windows Vista 64x2 dual processor,1.00 GB Ram

Is this you home machine or something you take to work and connect to their system?

Did you buy from a store or did someone set it up for you? It sounds like you may have a security setting problem, does anyone else ever use the machine?

Yes it could be a large number of things so please try to give more information as others have asked for.



Hi,
I bought this comp at store and the basic set ups I done by myself.No one else did ever use my computer.
I am using antivirus Avast home 4.8 plus spyware&spybot.Yesterday I scanned my comp by spaybot and didnt find anything harmful.Long time ago my antivirus found some kind of viruses but they were removed.Now,I can't open anivirus to make a scan.I've also scanned the comp with windows defender but did not find anything.
The only changes Ive recently done to uninstall Norton from pc and reinstall sound card.
Also I found if opening system information bout my computer it all disappeared.And if I click to restart or shut down my pc it's not working neither.The same message appears(windows can't access..)


Either Norton or Spybot "Could" be causing this. Norton is absolutely the most awful piece of software ever sold to the public.

When you uninstall it a lot remains behind, and if you deleted it without stopping all it's services first then you may have been left with part of Norton trying to protect itself from "You" because you tried to remove it.


It is so bad they have to provide software to remove it. I suggest wait for other comments then go here, select your version and follow instructions to the letter.
