What happens when the taskmgr just sits in the systray and
won't maximize when you right or double click it ?

You hav a Virus.

1. Copy taskmgr.exe and regedit.exe to MY Documents
]
2. RENAME them taskmgr.COM and regedit.COM

3. RUN Taskmgr.COM. it should work ok now.

4. IN Proceeses, find Winlodr.scr (or something like that) and KILL
IT.

5. in c:\winnt\system32 find winlodr.scr and DELETE it.

6. EMPTY the recyle bin Right Away.

7. Run Regedit

8 find and DELETE all keys that reference winlodr.scr

9 Reboot.

10 do the ctrl-alt.del thing and make sure regular Task manager works
ok

This is a bad virus. it got thru my firewall and past norton antivirus
2003.

good luck
