    I cannot access control panel on PC, is this a virus? Is there any good helpful downloads that can sort this matter out without a barrage of spam and misleading links etc?

    Is it your pc? Sounds like there are some security policies in operation.

    unlikely but could also be malware protecting itself.

    try logging in as an administrator first to confirm if it's a machine wide problem or just your profile/account

    It seems like malware, ie regcure, one of these latch on programmes that make you submit to buying their software.

    Its a Virus all right. Download fixpolicies.exe from here http://cid-6aaab341ce47c5c2.skydrive.live....FixPolicies.exe and run it on your pc.

    This will sort out your access. You also need to clean the computer of the viri or you problems may return when you reboot.
