Hello everybody I cannot open task manager. when I click Ctrl+Alt+Del it appears an error message. what shall I do for this problem :cry:

Hi eastblood,

Have you tried a boot time scan with avast!? Right click the scanner screen, select ‘schedule a boot time scan’ and reboot when requested.

Have you tried the usual free adware/spyware scanners?

AVG Anti-Spyware (Requires Win2k/XP)

a-Squared Free

Ad-Aware

Spybot Search & Destroy

Check http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_emerutils.htm

What is the error message ?
The DougKnox site is a great resource.

Thanx. I used Emergency Utility Copier and but it couldnt be helful. Following error message apperars again:

It means “Task Manager was disabled by your administrator”. How can I solve this problem?? What do you think why the error message appears. Do you think because of a virus??

Are you running as administrator?

Try running the scanners I linked to above in Safe Mode. Make sure you use the administrator account which comes up when you boot into safe mode. (This will be a separate account from your account, even if your account is an administrator account.)

These scanners look for the registry changes made by malware to prevent task manager opening, so they may help.
