    Hi guyz, What has occurred in my system today is the nuisance that I whenever hit the Ctrl+Alt+Del from the keyboard to open up the "task manager" it reports a message box saying "Task Manager has been disabled by your Administrator",whereas I being the administrator have had done nothing such(My OS is Windows XP).That's why I can't open up the task manager anymore.For your information I have checked for viruses with Norton Antivirus.It had reported some adware threats which it was unable to delete,might they had been running background,but I also did not find them as I was unable to open the task manager.Next, I took the repair wizard from the Windows XP installation CD ,but to no avail. Now I have found an extra problem,my desktop is not working i.e.,I am unable to click the icons on the desktop. Anyone knowing even little about the solutions please let me know .:(

      first, keep you antivirus up to date. second, cut off you interenet connection, and run a scan of you whole computer. then, try to repair the infected files with norton AV, otherwise, click on the virus name (presented in the report) to go to the symantec webpage of that malicious threat, and find the section (on that page) called "removal information"... (it explains how to remove the viruses, tojans and so from your system). follow the procedure for each threat on your PC. you could also try to scan your computer with Ad-Aware for spy-wares... if you think you cannot do this with your current session, reboot and launch a Safe-Seesion Windows (after booting, press F8) for the task manager, try Ctrl+Shift+Esc... but i doubt it will work if you cannot access it via Ctrl+Alt+Del cheers,

        Try running it directly: Start|Run|taskmgr.exe|Enter

          Hi: Looks like some virus infection and TaskManager.exe might have got replaced. Try with the TaskManager Extension from CodeProject which will also show all the modules/handles running.

            Try to download windows defender[^], install it and update the virus definition for both anti-virus and windows defender. Disconnection your computer from the network and try to scan it. Note: Try to identify the virus name of spyware name, then you would be able to delete it from your computer by search on the search engine to find the tool to kill it. After your computer is clean, try to update the security path from the Microsoft windows update website.
