I've seen it posted before and here I am posting about it as well! Here goes......

I was getting the message: "Windows cannot find C:\WINDOWS\system32\printer.exe" and unable to print. I downloaded hijacker and found something in there about printer.exe and unchecked it and had hijacker do it's thing. I'm not getting the message anymore but I'm still unable to print. As everyone else has, I'm not getting the control panel and when I can get to the printers it's giving me the message "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator"

This pc was being run by a small business and they called me (old friends of mine) for help, although I've been out of the pc world for a little while raising my tot! I took it to our local Staples and had them run their pc tuneup. They found quite a few viruses and the pc has now been cleaned. I've talked them into getting some virus software.

Here is the hijacker log:

Ask for your money back, that PC is inundated with nasties.

Bear in mind, I didn't finish all of my research and I know there is more in there to clean. Does anyone have any suggestions? I still can't print, have no control panel and I still get the administrative rights message as before.
