Re: Admin rights gone - Help needed fast

Blocked access to Task Manager indicates that you indeed have a virus infection. Boot your computer in Safe Mode (see Help and Support) and run your antivirus software from there. If possible, boot into Safe Mode with Network Support so you can download the latest definitions for your antivirus software.

I have had no issue at all for a long time and all was well.
Then this week I was on my pc (Windows XP SP2) and went to shut down the pc,
but when I went to Start to look for shute down it was not there and neither
was the Run command. I researched online and found out it maybe called the
quickinfo virus. I followed a few steps and got back the run command and
shutdown button. I though all was fine but now when I go to open Adobe
Photoshop CS I get and error I must have Admin rights to load program and it
shuts down. I looked at user accounts and their is only one mine and it has
admin rights. Also if I hit ctrl+alt+delete it says it has been diabled as I
do not have admin rights.

How do I fix this issue?

Is this the name of the virus I have, or is it something else?


Anyone questions just ask me.

I pasted what I followed to get links back below just as FYI. Please help as
I can not do any work. Thanks Much


Open a command prompt (CMD) from accessories menu -> type "gpedit.msc"
expand the user configuration node -> expand admin templates -> click "Start
Menu and Taskbar -> int he right pane look for "remove run menu from start
menu from start menu" it should be set to "not configured" if it is double
click it set to enable, click apply, then set to disable and click apply. if
it's set to enabled then set to disable. Reboot and see if run's back on the
start menu.
