Virus Disabled My IE7 Tools/Options and Display Features

by jabailo - 8/12/08 11:20 AM

Yesterday, I accidentally clicked on an email that launched a pernicious virus known as Win AntiVir 2008.

I think it's mostly removed but one of its after effects is that I can no longer change my wallpaper or screen saver -- the functions don't show up on Control Panel. In addition, I cannot access the Tools/Options features of IE7...an alert appears that says "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."

I have tried changing my local policy settings and also tweaking some suggested registry entries but to no avail.

Do you all have any other suggestions for getting back my functionality?

For the Display Poperties problem are the tabs missing in Display Properties?
