Hello,
First of all I'd like to ask for all of you to be patient with me, for I am not that much of an expert...
Last night, for the first time, SpyBot asked me if I'd like to Grant or Deny Access to a process called "WinLogon.exe". As I was in a different network (spending christmas with my family in the countryside, so I'm using the hotel cable internet) I thought it might be something...malicious, so I DENIED the access. That was my mistake, I think...because when I restarted my computer I didn't have access to the administrator account anymore! It just denies access everytime...
Lucky for me, I had created an account for myself with administrator-access as well, so I can still install everything and use the control panel. But it really bugs me because my files (music, text, photos) were there in that other account and now I can't get to them anymore.
I've tried to whitelist the process just as instructed by SD, problem is, the process isn't listed at all. It does appear in one of Resident log files though.
I'm really lost here. Can anyone please shed a light?
Thanks!
