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

I'm so sorry but no one can answer your questions with so little information
provided. 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:

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:

Is this you home machine or something you take to work and connect to
their system?

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.

Hi,
I bought this comp at store and the basic set ups I done by myself.No one
else did ever use my computer.
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..)

Either Norton or Spybot "Could" be causing this. 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.
