Question

Puede que no tenga los permisos apropiados para tener acceso al elemento.

Answer
Hi Olga,

Start the computer in Safe Mode by tapping the "F8" key when Windows first starts until you get a window with Various ways to start Windows, choose Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode, run a virus scan with AVG. Write down what ever it finds, not the location but the name of the virus, then you can use Google to find out how to remove it.

Hope this helps!

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
