Someone with programmer knowledge has accessed your p/c. You need to replace your hard drive(you cannot re-format it now as a guest).

If there is stuff you want to save then burn it to some CD's.

I would guess FBI or HSA has an interest in you.


After wipeing all your fingerprints off, toss your current hard drive on a bon-fire and say good bye!

Are you the only computer administrator? My guess is that someone set you up with a limited account which is what you set up for guest accounts. You can change this by using The Administrator to get into the pc the going to the control panel and changing the settings of your account from unlimited. (this only works with windows XP though)

Now to get in using The Administrator, when you start up the machine and your welcome screen comes up.... use the combination keys Ctrl+Alt+Del. This will bring a pop up asking for user name and password. Type The Administrator in the username. Remember. The User name is The Administrator and not your username or any other. It's an option Microsoft put in in case of emergencies such as this. Don't type a password and then click enter. Now you have absolute control of your pc. Go on and change anything you like.

Hope this helps.

If you can log on with your admin name and password, simply go to "Start- - Control Panel- -User Accounts" and change anything you need from there. You can add or delete account names, assign your administration status to any account, and delet or disable that pesky guest account. At least one user must have the administration status.
