task manager

[Guest]

I cant turn on the task manager. It says "the task manager is turned off by
your administrator". I also cant use msconfig in start-run. Please advise.

Can you also not run regit from start | run? These are symptomatic of a
worm infection. There are several that can cause this. For viruses,
start with Trend Micro’s Sysclean and McAfee’s Stinger. Download them
and the Sysclean signature file. Turn off system restore, boot into
safe mode and run them. Boot back into normal mode and run a full AV
scan with your normal AV program. Then turn system restore back on.

You should also regularly run at least two of these online scans in
addition to your regular up to date AV program:
