Im left with my second major problem. I cant open my task manager.

I get a "Task manager has been disabled by your admin" message when i try to access the task manager. Anyone know how to fix this?

i just got what you guy are having problems with, even my task manager has been diabled


CURE
just do a restore back to before you got it, should sort it out - it sorted it out for me

i think i got it from www.isohunt.com there is a page that the site goes when you first go there, some sort of spy ware software site, anyway i pressed ok or something like that, think thats where i got the problem from - but not sure

Still not reading the Read: How to... posts!

the systems are infected with malware, several of our clients have had a simillar problem, the easiest option to remove it is to go to add & remove programs and uninstall SpyAxe, SpySweeper etc then perform a complete system scan is safemode using Ad-Aware reboot then do an Ads scan using Ad-Aware again in saf mode.

also microsft have released a removal tool not sure how good it is yet?

also it would be a good idea to run Hi-Jack This, Registry Repair Pro just to tie up loose ends etc.

i would recomend a well know AV rather then a free download as they are free for a reason

I'm having the same problems, though in a slightly different format, and am hoping someone could help me out.

I've been getting the "Your computer is Infected" message popping up from the red circle with the white X in my taskbar.

I ran Ad-Aware which seemed to take care of the problem, but when I restarted my computer the next morning. The circle and message reappeared. I ran Ad-Aware again and they disappeared before the program finished running.

Also, I can't uninstal the program because I can't find it.

If you have any suggestions they'd be much appreciated.
