Trend Micro didn't find anything either. Maybe I don't have a virus then. Is there anything else that could cause those "restrictions" on msconfig, Zone Alarm and God knows what else?
Also there has been a new development in this saga. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the previous problem. For some reason when I go to Add/Remove programs only about 15 or so installed programs show up which is much less than what should be there. It was working fine yesterday
I've been missing class and losing sleep over this. My computer is sick

Any help is very much appreciated.
