Anyways, sorry for the dramatics, I just need some help with this, and I hear this site is the place to look:
My taskmanager has something wrong with it:
-I cannot access it via ctrl +alt+del,
-I cannot access it by right-clicking onto the taskbar.
-I cannot access it through "run: taskmgr.exe"
When I try to use the run: program, it tells me
"another program is currently using this file"
I have called the tech-support people for my school, and they suggested I get something called "Hijack This v1.99.1" I did that, and I ran it. Now, I have a log file of all the programs it found. I would really like any and all available suggestions on what the spyware/malware in question is, and what I should delete. This is the log file:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at 12:33:47 PM, on 10/19/2005
Platform: Windows XP (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 (6.00.2600.0000)
Running processes:
C:\Documents and Settings\John E. Dell 2\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdates] C:\Program Files\winupdates\winupdates.exe /auto
If any one could help, I would really, really appreciate it. It is messing with my other programs as well. I am having trouble running games, I am having difficulty with just about every regular program as a matter of fact. Thanks so much.
