Task Manager Won't Launch.....

[Mass]

Whenever I try to launch the task manager through the Ctrl+Alt+Del shortcut, i get the message that the task manager is disabled by the Administrator.

However, the only person who have access to my laptop in only me and i never changed any settings. Any one have any idea?

[Native Jovian]

It sounds like when your account was created, it wasn't given full admin permissions. You'll need to login under the admin account (there has to be one, the computer won't let you have no admin account on the computer) and change your user settings to "Administrator". You can do this by going to the control panel and clicking user accounts. Doing this will also show you which account on your laptop has admin rights. The username will be on the left and "Administrator" on the right.

If you can't remember the password for the admin account, though, I dunno what to tell you...

[Mass]

That's the thing, my account is the administrator which gives me full access to everything. This problem started last night when my IE was acting up, so I decided to close it using the task manager. But it won't launch and hence, the creation of this thread.

[sefirosu]

I had this happen to me once and it was due to some "annoyance" malware. With your IE messing up, I can only imagine what other viruses you might have.

It can be detected by antivirus scans and easily erased so run virus scans now.

Hope this helps!

[Mass]

If by malware you don't mean Lavos do you? Coz I've just restarted my laptop now and there's this notification box stating that I've been infected. *sigh*

Guess I found the problem....I'll try and see if a scan could fix this. However any other suggestions on what I should do? And please don't say format it...

[Dhsu]

If by malware you don't mean Lavos do you?

:

Sorry, man, you're screwed.

j/k, if you mean LavaSoft, it's pretty good for anti-spyware, but I'd get AVG or something to take care of viruses.

[Mass]

The only Anti-virus I have is NOD32. And nope not Lava Soft.

It says in the title window, "Codename:Lavos", and then it says "Your computer has been infected".

hoo Boy... seems like other symptoms other than unable to launch the Task Manger are:

1) Can't open the Hardisk by clicking it directly, need to right click it then click explore.

2) External Hard-rive can't be disconnected even if I'm not accessing it.

3)My apps run slower than normal..

[prophetik music]

a repair installation would definitely take care of it easily, but there's gotta be ways that aren't so lengthy and power-user-ish to do it.

try getting HijackThis and running it. post your log from that, and maybe i'll see something i recognize.

edit: also, try downloading the sysinternals Process Manager. it's an advanced form of task manager that might help me out in figuring out what's there and what's not. see anything specific that's not supposed to be there?

[Mass]

Here's what I got, I hope it's the right thing though.

I have no idea about the process manager thingy. Lol, I'm not much into this computer stuff.

[phill]

As far as I can remember Lavos is a vbs script run by a worm, this actually explains why you have a dozen wscript.exe running. I'm not the best person to ask for cleaning your machine, a few years in corporate IT has made me realize that reimaging (aka format and install) is actually less work then hunting down tools and hoping they work. But I would guess there are online virus scanners or bootable cd with virus scanners that will work for you.

[Mass]

So the only way to get rid of this worm is by formatting my laptop? You sure there's no other way to get rid of this thing?

[prophetik music]

there's tools out there for this kind of thing.

tbh, it'd be a better idea to post this on a malware forum, one of those places where people exist just to help you clean your computer. i'm way better hands on than virtual, like this.

[Schwaltzvald]

Curiously though if I read that log right... Why are you not using Service Pack 3 and still on SP2..? Probably not related to the extra scripts running but... why..?

[Nutritious]

I recommend this forum for help:

http://www.techsupportforum.com/security-center/virus-trojan-spyware-help/

Be sure to read the top sticky before starting.

[Mass]

To Schwaltzvald - Like I said, I'm not into the in depth stuff of computers and my knowledge on computers are only above average. So I have no idea on what SP2 and SP3 are. You could explain this to me if you want though, I'm quite interested in this.

To the prophet of mephisto - Thanks for your kind response and I'll take your advice on seeking help on the various tech forums.

To Nutritious - Thanks for the link and I'll give this a shot.

Thanks for the kind help guys.

[Kanthos]

SP = Service Pack. He's referring to the service packs to Windows XP.

If, at this point, you're not running Service Pack 3 (which has been out for roughly a year, if I remember correctly), that means you're probably not having Windows Update automatically update Windows for you. Which is a *very bad thing*. Microsoft releases frequent security patches and bug fixes for Windows through Windows Update (as well as using it to push service packs to Windows users).

It's entirely possible that your virus infection happened because someone used a Windows exploit that you hadn't had patched yet (though realistically, it's more likely to have happened because you either downloaded stuff from sketchy sites and/or don't have proper antivirus software running).

[Native Jovian]

a few years in corporate IT has made me realize that reimaging (aka format and install) is actually less work then hunting down tools and hoping they work.

True fact. I'm working IT right now and whenever anyone ends up with a virus the answer is "your files are saved on the network drive, right? Okay then, go go gadget reimage, your computer will be fine in a half hour or so."

But yeah. If you still have a Windows disk lying around, pulling anything you want to keep onto a flash drive or something and then reformatting is probably easiest and safest.

[Schwaltzvald]

To Schwaltzvald - Like I said, I'm not into the in depth stuff of computers and my knowledge on computers are only above average. So I have no idea on what SP2 and SP3 are. You could explain this to me if you want though, I'm quite interested in this.

To simplify things as much as I can... - Service Packs are basically software updates/upgrades that dramatically change the operating system enough that it's usually better than it's original iteration. Service Pack 2 is best known for adding quite a few popular features and fixes.

The last service pack for Windows XP is Service Pack 3 (SP3) in which a total of 1,174 fixes have been included among other features.

Doing the upgrade may solve a lot of your problems as Microsoft sends out software tools to clear out malware every few months or so. (though not all will fix every thing)

I'd also recommend switching to another web browser as IE (Internet Explorer) is rather notorious in being as unsafe compared to others like opera's browser or Mozilla's Firefox web browser. However even those alternatives are not always safe choices as it all depends on your habits and where you usually go...

Take a look at them and give them a try.

[prophetik music]

you know what? SP3 installs the Malicious Software Removal tool, too. try updating, and see if that finds/fixes anything. control panel -> automatic updates, and set it to the top (installs automatically). set the time when it updates to around an hour from now, and it'll get the files when it's time. it'll take a while, fyi, but it's totally worth it.

if not, then go to a tech support forum.

[Mass]

Well I'll be damned. That did it all right. Thanks Guys! Really appreciate it~

[Kitashi]

If, at this point, you're not running Service Pack 3 (which has been out for roughly a year, if I remember correctly), that means you're probably not having Windows Update automatically update Windows for you. Which is a *very bad thing*.

My computer's XP Media Center (though it reads in properties as Professional) SP2. I downloaded the executable from Microsoft for SP3 and installed it on another computer, it worked, but when I tried to install it on my computer, it failed and restarted my computer. After that I also tried automatic updates, and that failed just the same and restarted. I hate restarting my computer, so I just haven't bothered with it since. So far, no problems, so I haven't taken to caring about it.

[prophetik music]

you...hate...restarting the computer? you realize that's how you keep it running quickly and smoothly, right?

mass: what did it? sp3?

[Kitashi]

you...hate...restarting you realize that's how you keep it running quickly and smoothly, right?

Yeah, but I try to restart it as seldomly as possible. I usually end up restarting it for a reason other than speed issues. I think the longest it's been on was 4 weeks.

[prophetik music]

that's SO bad for your system.

[Kitashi]

It's lasted at least four years so far, and still going strong.
