Fake Spyware Warning Messages, no control panel or task manager
I have this problem, which seems to have affected many others. I have installed AVG and it seems to have kept all heck from breaking loose. I also deleted the main, fake virus sotware using add/remove programs. However, I am still getting the fake spyware messages and my control panel says the system administrator has blocked access. Please help. Thank you.

Try running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
Please download to your desktop Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here or Here
Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
- Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

- Make sure that everything is checked

- When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
- The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
- If you are still having problems and/or would like a follow-up check to be sure the infection as well as vulnerabilities are gone, copy and paste the entire report into a New Message on the HijackThis Board.

Hi
I would Suggest using Dial-a-fix if the task manager is disabled. Also try SDFix if the control panel is missing.
Click on the link below for Dial-a-fix
