My computer was infected with winspyware protect but it's removed now I think cos earlier I couldn't even run Hijackthis and all popups are gone and also the text VIRUS ALERT! next to my clock in systray

But problem is I can't run taskmanager nor regedit also it's preventing sme programms to install and run =(

it say systemoperator (correct translation)? has prevented it from use what I do here is Hijack report
