I have a sony vaio laptop which touch wood has been as good as gold however today it's been playing up. When i receive an e mail that has a interent link in it normally i can access the net by the link but now it's saying "THIS OPERATION HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT ON THIS COMPUTER. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM ADMIN. I run AVG as firewall and firefox as a browser i have checked all the settings and nothing seems unfamilar . Any ideas ?

maybe you should go into internet tools and lower the level of security you have set

Just got this info for you from the internet.
A very common question in the Microsoft public newsgroups goes something like this:
When clicking on a hyperlink in an e-mail, I get this Message : "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." I get this message every time that I attempt to use the hyperlink. I am the administrator on this stand alone computer. How do I deactivate this feature so that I activate hyperlinks ?
This is not an Outlook error. The most common cause is a corrupt registry key in Internet Explorer 6. The registry key found at
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Classes\htmlfile\shell\open\command
is either damaged or corrupt.
To fix it, try resetting Web settings in Internet Explorer. If this does not resolve the issue, you'll need to import the registry key from another computer.

Don't send a stranger your 'hijack this' logfile, it has loads of info about your pc in it!
Try the previous suggestion form the Microsoft site.
And try running Ad-Aware SE personal and AVG anti spyware in Safe mode if you're concerned about security.
