No Taskmanager

[Guest]

Whenever I try to open the taskmanager, it does not respond. I've tried the
keystrokes, and using the run program, but nothing happens. Does anyone know
how to resolve this problem?

Becca,

This is usually caused by malware / viruses. Try Trend Micro's Sysclean
package (free), it's capable of eliminating keyloggers, trojans etc. Full

Though going through all that did remove some pesky adware that has been on
my computer for a while, the taskmanager is still not responding.

Thanks anyway for your help. I appreciate it.

Becca,

Looks like still there is a malware process running. The Quick Fix Protocol
page should get this resolved. Follow the advice here:
