So I logged onto my computer today to do the usual checks of some websites and such before I head to work.  I was reading an article on CNN I believe when my windows alert ballon popped up and notified me I had spyware on my computer. This went on to say something about illegal copies were being made of my files and how I was in serious risk of losing data on my computer. 

 

I also noticed that my control panal link under the start tab (windows XP SP2) was gone.  I clicked on some such things as "set programs access and defaults" and I get the error message that stats "this operation has been cacelled  due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system admistrator."  Obvoiusly with this being my personal computer, I'm the administrator. 

 

I have ZoneAlarm Pro on my computer and have ran that (spyware) scan a few times and deleted the few things that it list but, still have the problem.

 

I appreciate any help!
