CANNOT ACCESS THE TASK MANAGER

[David D. Samuels]

Hello. I had a new computer built which uses Windows XP
Home Edition. After connecting my computer to the T1
internet connection at work I noticed at some point that
I can't access the task manager. I really think there is
some sort of virus in and/or on my system. I have
checked for the blaster worm, but all programs used
report that the blaster worm is not on my system.

I would greatly appreciate an e-mail from anyone who may
have information on what I am currently experiencing.

I can be reached at any of the following:

"IF" the task manager opens and does not look right
double-click in the 'frame' of the TM.

and for God's sake's, don't put your real email address in here!
