I have heard that some viruses may cause this.

Hi

This might be the work of the Swen worm or something similar
(it could be from some spyware or parasite as well).

To try to solve your problem, do the following:

Copy and paste the URL address lines into your IE address bar:

In the menu, select Win XP Utilities, Disable/Enable Task Manager.


To try to find what has caused this:

Run a cleanup tool, e.g. Stinger.exe from McAfee, it removes 30+
virus/worms in one sweep.

McAfee AVERT Stinger

and this one:

On Line Virus Scan

Be sure to run an updated Antivirus program at all times.


For the Spyware and Parasites part, you will need to run other tools:

HI:
Thank you for all of your advise but I have done stinger,
spybot,,adware,advase cleaner and of course my normal
virus cleaner that is update daily. I also have DSO stop
but spybot still brings up DSO exploit, unknown, huntbar
even though they have been fixed numberous times. I have
scanned with adware as well, that brought up quite a
number(2355) of malware so I quarentined them but they
also came back as critical objects. So I am really lost
as to what to do now...lol all I wanted was my
taskmgr...hopefully you may have more insight for me.

Thanks

If it reads anything like - 18,19,20,21.....simply ignore it and carry on.
It is set by your selecting an option to do so.

DSO Exploit: Data source object exploit (Registry change, nothing done)
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\0\1004!=W=3
