Task Manager

[T88SupraStyle]

I Have a simple problem on my computer. I logged on this morning as admin and when i tried to open task manager it states that it has been blocked or something by the admin.

But what is funny to me is that I am the admin and i have never set anything like that. I don't know how to fix it. Please help, and thanks in advance.

Click Start, Run, and copy + paste the following code and press enter.

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Though it works, doesn't explain why it was disabled in the first place.

Go through through Warezs Spyware/Virus removal guide.
Alot of trojans wube disabling taskman.

I went through the Warezs Spyware thing. And all it comes up with is a wikipedia topic. I went through that too and it comes up with a bunch of spyware removal software. I happen to have one of them and it does not detect anything. What would you think it is?

You should run some anti-virus programs to search for trojans and virus.

Some free ones are Avast and AVG.

You can get it at:

A spyware program won't detect that kind of things.

Alright, im downloading the Avast one. I will run it and get back to you if i found any. Thanks for the help.

Ok, i ran the Viruscan and it did not find any trojans. I don't know what to do anymore.
