Hi!
My task manager file (Tskmgr32.exe) has been infected by a trojan horse.
I need a clean version of this file to replace it.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance,
Johannes

Windows XP doesn't have a tskmgr32.exe file. Are you sure this file wasn't
a part of the trojan? These things often use official looking names to
"hide" on the system.

After an antivirus program finds and deletes a trojan, there are usually
extra steps that you have to perform manually. Without doing those extra
steps it's very likely you will get warnings at startup about "missing
files." Visit the website for your antivirus program, look up the name of
the trojan it alerted you to. If you don't remember the name, you can
probably find it in the log files created by the a/v program. Print out the
directions and use them.
