    Hi all

    I have laptop running Windows 7 as a client to Server 2008.

    The issue is the Task Manager is disabled due to a Virus but programs are not finding a virus, Super Spyware, Trend Micro are not finding anything.

    When looking at regedit, it states DisableTaskMgr =data 0x00000002 (2)

    After removing this and then running spyware, its clean however upon reboot its back in Regedit straight away.

    Any suggestions please peeps?

    Thanks

    Hi MarkT67,

    Have you check the value “Disable TaskMgr” in these following keys below?

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    If you find it, delete it.

    Then we could use the command “sfc /scannow” to repair the system files to check.

    If the issue still insists, I suppose the Virus may change some files. I suggest that we could try to use the system restore to get an earlier state.

    Hope it will be helpful to you
