Fox Wrote:Question from a total noob - how do you reenable the Task Manager if it gets disabled by a virus? I caught a bug earlier when i plugged in an officemate's flash drive (typical idiot - i didn't have any AV program running when i accessed it) and somehow, the controls for opening the Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) are no longer working. All i'm getting is a message saying that it was "disabled by your administrator".
I was able to get the virus (a worm actually) quarantined and deleted but i still can't get it to work, even when opening the program using the run command. Is there some way that i can get it back or will i now have to reformat (something which i really hate doing) and reinstall more than three hundred gigs of data?
Check first if you could at least see the worm/virus file if it's not hidden.
If it keeps on hiding itself from you, by actually closing your Folder Options window everytime you go to the 'show hidden iles and folder option', then we had the same case. And if we do, then you have no other choice but to reformat.
Nakakainis yun sa totoo lang. Yung lintek na worm na yun.
