ah right, didnt realise spybot wasnt that hot anymore (or if it ever was for that matter!) i'll try the recommended malware programmes and report back my findings. Cheers for your help GBM

Hi Guys, Good news! I did a restore point to before i had problems in safe mode as advised. I updated my av and spybot and it found the malware. Performed full system scan again and i am clean. Thanks for all your help and advice in resolving this issue. Cheers very much GBM

I'll have to revert back with the exact error message but it effectively comes as a window error message 'Access Denied - You do not have sufficient priveliges to carry out this task'. As i said i'll get back on the absolute phrase later. I can't slave the hard disk as i'm at work (beavering away during lunch). I've got admin rights in safe mode, but i cant access the internet. I cant seem to turn on my wireless connection. But isnt that a feature of safe mode? Yes to the full scan (which came up with nothing) both spybot and comodo av. I think i have hijack this - if i do I'll try to run it in safe mode and see what that reports and post it in the relevant forum later.

I'm on my work pc at the mo btw. Hence my forum activity.

Well Firefox doesnt because i've not got 'sufficient permission' that is the key phrase that pops up. I cant access any program at all. I cant access anything windows related but I can access my hard drive and view it.

Hi All, I'm new here, i'm a pc gamer from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. I'm 27 and not a complete nonbrainer with security, but not much of a tech wiz. I've got a little problem at the moment that i hope you can help with. I've found you guys by googling you when yahoo answers was coming up blank (and asking for remote access! Denied!) Feel free to ask me more if you feel the need, i'm fairly friendly! Cheers for now, GBM.:D

Hi All, I'm new to the forums so hello! I'm running Win XP Pro SP2. I've booted up my pc yesterday evening and have comodo antivirus and firewall running - (previously Kapersky 8 suite). I ran a full scan on sunday with no problems and updated spybot S&D and had no malware detected. My problem is that i have 'insufficient permission' to run any program that is installed on my pc. I have an always on internet connection and fear that a trojan or virus has come down undetected. I cant run the antivirus program as i windows wont allow me, and i get a further message saying that it cant find the program and may have been moved or deleted. I've checked my hard drive and still have all my files. i've run a full scan in safe mode and still nothing - the definitions most definetly not include this virus? How can i fix this problem - do i use the repair function with my windows cd in safe mode? Furthermore I did a check on the virus list on symantec and found that the only thing that sounds suspiciously like my symptons is the Rotokbro virus. I dont get any different icons or anything though so im a bit lost. I just seem to have lost every administrator privalige. Please help!
