740251 2009-01-19 17:17:00 I am the administrator on my computer and I get the infamous message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." The weird thing is that I only get this message when I try to access Trillian or Yahoo messenger or Ccleaner or freeram xp pro. I have full access to everything else(i.e. control panel, Antivirus, and everything else.) Can someone clear this up for me? I am pretty sure it is a registry adjustment of some sort but I am not the best when it comes to the registry, and I am smart enough not to try to mess with something I am not sure about. slade654 (14538)
740252 2009-01-19 19:07:00 Have you tried logging in as the Actual administrator login, rather than user with admin privileges? Bantu (52)

Turn off UAC for starters.

740254 2009-01-19 19:47:00 I think you may have a virus or trojan that has fiddled with the registry, I would check with 1 of the application some of the other posters have SolMiester (139)
740255 2009-01-19 21:00:00 Yup, post a hijackthis log, its below.

Get trojan remover / malwarebytes, below update both, then scan

Disable system restore first

Are you using Windows XP Pro?

Foxy: The poster meant this program -> www.imagef1.net.nz (bottom left icon)

It functions as a RAM flusher, but I use it as a system tray notification of the amount of free memory that my laptop has.

Cheers :)

740258 2009-01-20 09:37:00 Do you have Comodo firewall, with "block all unknown requests if application is closed" enabled and Comodo is not running?

This can cause such a problem..
