I'm working with XP Home Edition and MS Outlook 2003 is my email client. Two weeks ago, after I had a malware infection (apparently solved), Outlook started showing a dialog box whenever I try to follow a hyperlink, saying that something like "this operation was cancelled due to restrictions in this computer. Contact system administrator" (freely translated from Portuguese). Since I am the system administrator, I tried every possible configuration under the tools menu, but it keeps doing the same. Even tried to pick a restore point previous to the beggining of the problem, but it didn't work either.
What shall I do?
Thanks in advance for your competent help (as usual)!
P.S. I repaired MS Outlook and lost all of my folders, but now the links will start IE. Strangely, however, it opens IE homepage, not the link it was supposed to open!

Outlook/Outlook Express web-links will always use Internet Explorer - Windows is 'programmed' to behave like that. To get them to use a different browser requires a registry edit or a utility which does the same thing.

To fix the home-page problem and make the link open on the correct page try this:

go to internet options in the tool menu
go to the programs tab
select the reset web settings options
