Task Manager issue

[Guest]

Three days ago, My daughter was on my system and using the AOL IM
application. As luck would have it, a popup about pictures for Valentine's
Day that contained a Trojan virus was clicked on by her to view. I have spent
two days running down the problem and getting my system straightened out.
However, when I right click on the task bar, click on task Mgr, it pops up
and then shuts down before I can even see it. What can I do to fix this? I
assume it means the Task Mgr was infected and I need some help here. Thanks...

WOW!

The guy can't use it because it closes on its own after a system
infection.

YOU tell him how to enable it when he gets a popup window telling him
it's been disabled by the sysadmin.

Someone needs to copy and paste you a new brain.

You still have a virus.

[[When you open System Configuration Utility [MSCONFIG], Registry Editor or
Task Manager, they flash for a second and quit. This symptom is caused by
Viruses.]]

Task Manager, MSCONFIG, or REGEDIT disappear while opening
