A virus (Trojan:Win32/Agentbypass.gen!) was detected and removed from my
computer by windows defender shortly after McAfee redirected me from a
harmful website (Allsp.com). After this point, my access to task manager was
disabled, and I have no idea what other changes were made to my system. I ran
a full virus scan from McAfee and Windows Defender, and no further viruses
were detected. I ran a registry clean-up program and restarted my computer...

How can I restore default settings for windows to undo any changes made
while my computer was infected? or at least how do I get access to task
manager again?

I had turned system restore off prior to running the scans and removing the
virus, so I wont be able to use that.

A minor point, but just a clarification. That's a trojan, not a virus.
Despite what many people think, a trojan is *not* a type of virus.

It sounds like you are still infected. Try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Never run a registry cleanup program. Accept the fact that there is
no such thing no matter what you are told.

If you use a restore point made n the past, you may just restore the
problem again.

When you get done scanning with MBAM, SA, and AVG (all free) find out
if Start, Run, regedit works. Also try Start, Run, cmd.

The character known as PCBUTTS1 posted the above, he has been
impersonating me for almost a full week because he's an unethical hack
and completely dishonest.

Do not visit his website, it contains pirated code, has contained filthy
pornographic material, and is on most some block-lists.

Following any advice from PCBUTTS would put your system at risk.

I will continue to file complaints as long as the abuse continues - it's
that simple.

What you fail to understand is the damage you do to your already poor
reputation and poor image with each post Chris.

This post was forged.
