task manager

[Guest]

my task manager does not work anymore. everytime i try to open it, it opens for about a second then it closes on me so i have no time to use it. when it tries to open it does not look anything like the normal task manager, it kind of looks like the window you get when you do some commands, like ipconfig, in the run window and i have no clue why it is doing this.

Greetings --

The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than
one virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html

Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the
Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose
definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free
on-line scanners to double-check your system.
