Task Manager Window will not stay open

[Jeff S]

When I hit the ctrl-alt-del keys to bring up the task
manager, it opens, but then closes almost immediately.
Can anyone tell me what is happening here??

Thanx!!

Hi Jeff,

Emergency Msconfig, Regedit, Task Manager (Line 261)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

This behavior can be caused by a virus. One of three:

W32.Spybot.Worm

W32.Klez.Worm

W32.Yaha.Worm

If none of the above helps: Run this small application and send the log
file to me via email.
