I recently had a virus removed from my computer. So I think that might be part of the problem.

This is my own PC by the way.

When I try accessing internet explorer's internet options I get this message

"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact Your system administrator"

Then when I close IE I get this message

"Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetcpl.cpl

The operating system cannot run %1"

I tried fixing this my self by doing what this site said

http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/browser/internetoptions.html

But when I got to Part 7

"7. Under Internet Explorer, double-click Restrictions."

I clicked restrictions but nothing was in the folder.

If anyone could shine a Little light on the subject that would be great.

Thanks.
Try System restore to a date before the virus.
Try Win Medikit to fix internet explorer options - free here

System restore often does not remove the virus. Reformat the system and then protect it with AVG or other anti virus program..
