I have a problem. I started receiving a message that said it was from Microsoft. It said that my computer was infected by a virus and to click here (Body of message) to download Microsoft antivirus. I downloaded AVG free trial and now my control panel is gone. Also my system restore wont work. when I try to do a restore it says cannot restore to this time. Ive tried all of the restore points and its always the same. I have an original xp disc that I purchaed but when I had why compter wiped it cam back with xp professional so I cant use my disc. I attempted to download service pack 2 but it says I have to validate and since I dont have a code for the version on my system it wont let me. Someone please help....

There is one thing you can check about your link to the control panel missing.

Right Click on Start
Select Properties
Click on Customize
Select the Advanced Tab

Just make sure that the control panel had a check mark indicating it is supposed to be displayed as a link.
