Internet Option Restrictions

Unable to access internet options on browser due to
restrictions. Says canceled due to restrictions contact
system administrator. What do I do to fix it?? Thanks

In addition, I'm using windows ME and I have been getting
more ads then usual. I've run spybot and it finds them
and gets rid of them, but the same ones keep showing up
every day. I've cleaned my temp and registry files and I
just don't know what else to do to prevent those. It's
getting quite annoying having to do this every day, HELP!
The only pop up blocker I've been using is yahoo and it
said something bout windows messaging service and I can't
even find that on my computer?? Thanks

Michelle,

You need to do more than just use SpyBot to keep the nasties at bay. As for
the Windows Messaging service, Win Me has no such service which is a feature
of NT based systems such as Windows XP. What follows is my standard spiel
where a poster has problems with unnamed and unwelcome guest and parasites.

When did you last check your system for malware using your preferred antivirus
application making sure first that you are using an updated current set of
viral reference signatures? If you haven't yet managed to install an
antivirus application the download and use Stinger
(http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/) and perhaps also F-Prot which will allow you
to scan your system from DOS (http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/dos/).

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware SE
Personal edition from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/)
and also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use
them to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they
are only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a
program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that
checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a
folder called HJT on C: (not on your desktop nor in your temp folder) and copy
the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can
including all instances of Internet Explorer. Enable Explorer to see all files
and folders (Tools | Folder Options | View and check "Show hidden files and
folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files") and then run
hijackthis.exe and post back the log to either the HijackThis Forum at
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable
someone to identify the cause of your problem.
