I hit Control - Alt - Delete , and nothing happens. Any
help would be much appreciated.
 
Hi Rob,

Does the task manager open if you right click on the taskbar and choose Task
Manager?
 
Hi Rob,

Start/run cmd, from the prompt, run this:

copy %windir%\system32\taskmgr.exe %windir%\system32\taskmgr1.exe

Close the command prompt, then start/run taskmgr1.exe to open Task Manager.

Then try to locate the virus that's on your system and remove it. Both Klez
and Yaha can cause this behavior.
