Hi BS,
Have a look at the information here, provided courtesy of Ramesh [MVP]:

The slow PC problem, along with the "Task Manager has been disabled by your
Administrator" problem, may be due to malware infection (trojan or other).
Update your virus scanner's definition files and perform a full system scan.
As well, you may want to try a free online scan or two:

Also, have a look at "The Parasite Fight: Quick Fix Protocol":

If you think that you may have deleted an XP system file, try running System
File Checker. Go to Start>Run and key in:
SFC /SCANNOW
Have your install CD ready, as you will probably be prompted to insert it.
