I had a Virus that disabled my McAfee and removed my Control Panel.  I uninstalled McAfee and downloaded AVG, ran the scan and removed 2 virus'.  I wasn't able to reinstall McAfee.  After I removed the 2 virus and 89 malware, I uninstalled AVG, reinstalled my McAfee.  I was Virus Free.  But then I couldn't get on the internet because of some problem with an update from McAfee and was not able to get it fixed.  I uninstalled again, reinstalled AVG Free...no virus.  I also installed AVG Anti-Spyware and have no spyware.  However, I cannot access properties on My Computer or Internet Explorer.  It says I need to contact my System Administrator.  When I did have my Control Psnel, it wouldn't let me access Add Remove Programs.  I have Windows 2000.  Is there any help here?  

It would seem you have a damaged Windows installation.
If you have a Win2000 install disk, I would boot from the disk. When the installation dialog comes up, choose to repair the existing Windows installation. That should restore the Control Panel.
The access problems may be security related. If you are running an account without administrator priviliges, that would explain the access problems and the message about contacting the system administrator.
Microsoft recommends having two accounts. A basic user account for everyday use and an administrative account for fixing problems.

Duh to me, but how do you set up the accounts.  And, thank you for your response

This article should explain the process.

Thanks for the Link.  I'll go there.  

BTW, I did reboot from my Win2000 Disc, clicked repair - still no control panel.  So then, I did it again as new installation - still no control panel

Found a way to restore the Control Panel, according to Microsoft.
