Guest Lucita Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 If I want to open the internet it just says"Windows cannot access the specified path or file.U may not have the appropriate permission to access the item." If I open control panel and check up my security status or device manager or for example another system settings it's just saying the same!!I can't even run my antivirus.What is going wrong?Is my comp infected or something? Ive got windows Vista 64x2 dual processor,1.00 GB Ram Quote

Start here: The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't? The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this? Be sure the computer is clean: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2....emoving_Malware After you've answered the First Question and done the scanning at the Second Question's link, if you need more help post back. These links will give you ideas about what details to include so you can get the focused help you want: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Usenet http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 - How to Ask a Question Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!

Did you buy from a store or did someone set it up for you? It sounds like you may have a security setting problem, does anyone else ever use the machine? Yes it could be a large number of things so please try to give more information as others have asked for. Quote

I am using antivirus Avast home 4.8 plus spyware&spybot.Yesterday I scanned my comp by spaybot and didnt find anything harmful.Long time ago my antivirus found some kind of viruses but they were removed.Now,I can't open anivirus to make a scan.I've also scanned the comp with windows defender but did not find anything. The only changes Ive recently done to uninstall Norton from pc and reinstall sound card. Also I found if opening system information bout my computer it all disappeared.And if I click to restart or shut down my pc it's not working neither.The same message appears(windows can't access..)

Guest madMental Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I had the same problem with a firewall once, i got round it by booting into safe mode( F8 at startup) which enabled me to uninstall/reinstall it. I've googled the error message http://tinyurl.com58fdha there are plenty of other instances of this problem. Hope it helps. -- "I first diagnosed symptomless coma three years ago, and since then the number of cases has been steadily increasing." Quote

Norton is absolutely the most awful piece of software ever sold to the public. When you uninstall it a lot remains behind, and if you deleted it without stopping all it's services first then you may have been left with part of Norton trying to protect itself from "You" because you tried to remove it. It is so bad they have to provide software to remove it. I suggest wait for other comments then go here, select your version and follow instructions to the letter. <span style="color:blue"> > http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgen...005033108162039</span> Quote
