Task manager

D

Dan

Whenever I try to open task manager by pressing
ctrl+alt+del nothing happens. If I continually press
ctrl+alt+del I am lucky if it pops-up for a breif
instant. I am running win xp home and recently changed
my settings so that when ctrl+alt+del is pressed windows
security opens. However, I am still unable to open task
manager by clicking on the button with the task manager
label. Any help would be appreciated.

The same symptom is caused due to Klez, Yaha Viruses. It is advisable to run
a full system scan. Be sure you update the anti-virus software definitions.
