Restrictions in Effect Error

I have installed Office 2003 on my XP Pro system. Now
when I try to follow a link in an email or Word doc I get
the following error, "This operation has been canceled
due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator." I assume this is a
security issure somewhere.

Does anybody have any ideas? I have checked the
Knowledge base and the only suggetion doesn't help.

Thanks
 
I get the same message

This operation has been canceled
due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please
contact your system administrator

Whenever I try to access internet options from within
IE6 SP1.

I am logged on as the administrator for the system
running XP PRO SP1 with all hotfixes installed.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Remove IE Restrictions & Restore Missing tabs
http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/sramesh2k/reg/IE_reset_restrictions.reg

The problem is due to:

1. A spyware. Download Ad-Aware from www.lavasoftusa.com, scan the system
and eliminate the malware products. Re-apply the above fix if necessary.
** Remember to update the pattern file using WebUpdate in Ad-Aware **

2. You have enabled SpyBot immunize (protection) feature or any other
similar software
