Malware not only steals data and tries to sell you bogus software, but it also locks down your PC in an effort to make malware removal that much more difficult.
Below are a few commands that will add/change registry entries so that you can administer your PC:
===================================
If you get the following message - Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator.
Click Start--Run--and paste the following code into the command text box and click Ok:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
===================================
If you get this message: Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator.
