Hi,
Scan your system for malware and other parasites. Here are some free
programs.
Adaware SE

Spybot - search and destroy

Once your system is cleaned and free of parasites then open the registry to
remove the Task Manager restriction.
(Start>Run and type regedit.exe).
For Windows XP Pro, use Group Policy Editor (Start > Run > gpedit.msc) then
navigate to:
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > System
Ctrl+Alt+Del Options. Set "Remove Task Manager" as Not Configured.
For XP Home or Pro, use the Registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe)
Navigate to the following sub key:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
and/or
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: DWORD
Value: 0 - Unrestricted; 1 - Restricted
Or in the right-hand pane, delete "DisableTaskMgr".
