Administrator has restricted this computer to access USB/1394 mass storage devices

This message has just started showing out of the blue. It comes up as soon as windows loads. It is not and never has been a corporate machine, hence I am the administrator.

It has blocked my external hard drive back up, and now won't even let me read a memory stick. In that case, I get "Administrator has prohibited access to USB/1394 mass storage devices". 

I have searched through everything and all appears ok. I have run several virus checks and spyware checks, but all come up clean.

Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks.
