Admin account hacked?

[Guest]

Hi

My admin account (XP Pro) no longer has access to the Task Manager for one, giving me the message "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator." I created another administrator account and that one could access Task Manager fine

Also, when I click start on that account, I only have the 'Log Off' option, the 'Shut Down' button is completely gone. I also cannot right click in the Start>Programs (when I installed a new program and wanted it to sort everything by name)

I scanned my system with McAfee and found a keylogger type virus. I promptly removed this and changed all my passwords

Anyway, my question is: Is there a way to make sure there are no remnants of this hack attempt? Is there a way to reenable Task Manager and put the Shut Down button back where it's supposed to be? How about the right click thing in the Start>Programs

Thanks in advance for the help!

Yea I need some help on how to get control over my
computer access. I struggle now and then to get online
and to conect to either windows messenger or MSN
messenger I need to know what to do and how to do it.

run regedit, go to this key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
look for
DisableTaskMgr and change it value to 0
NoClose = change this to 0

and there might be some crazy restrictions in there that you can disable.
