• Task Manager Windows has 5 svchost.exe/System cases and 3 instances of YahooWidgets.exe/Owner running in XP SP3

  I did a few recommended lately on the system settings.  I don't remember see these multiple entries above.

  It is normal to have several copies of svchost.exe appears in the Task Manager.  I have 8 right now in the process of execution.

  Important XP Services running "behind" these entries of svchost.exe.  Some svchost.exe process may have just XP Service running behind her, an another svchost.exe process can have several XP Services running behind it.

  In addition, malicious software has been know to dress up like a svchost.exe process to deceive you or sometimes the malware will hide behind a svchost.exe process, because he knows that you won't be able to see it in the Task Manager.

  I don't know what YahooWidgets and do not want to install any YahooWidgets to find out how it works, or if this is normal.

  Thanks to the bad implementation of the MS Answers forums, we know absolutely nothing about your system is always a good idea before troubleshooting to run some respectable scans for malware, then I'll give you some instructions, if you're curious to see what happens behind these multiple svchost.exe process see you in Manager tasks.

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update, and make at least an analysis full (not at the same time) with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  To help understand your processes svchost.exe and what is running under them, read this article and you will be smarter than the average bear:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

  You may be able to get clues with what is happening with your svchost.exe process using the Task Manager and maybe understand.

  You will always be able to understand what is happening with your svchost.exe process if you use Process Explorer.

  Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' running on your system, especially behind those svchosts several process see you in the running task manager.

  Download Process Explorer from here:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

  You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

  Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

  Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

  Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

• Title bar on the Task Manager window is missing

  While working, I noticed that the title bar on the Task Manager is missing.  Unfortunately I don't remember what key shots that I did to make it disappear.

  I chose the Task Manager and press F11 but nothing happens.

  I passed using Windows and tried all search combinations I could think, but none of them gave an answer to the problem.

  What I've done and how to do this problem?

  Thank you

  Do you mean that the tabs are missing? Double-click on the outer border of the box of the Task Manager.

  I can end processes very do well no problem it's just the show all button that does not work, I thought that maybe the taskmgr.exe in my right-click system32 folder and compatiability tab and running it as admin it would work, but the compatiability tab is completely grayed out all I can't click anything in it.

• How to retrieve the Task Manager window?

  I often used TM for different things, and then it was gone!  Now, when I hit Ctrl/alt/delete everything that happens is a grid to use green and black.  I tried various searches, but am still not able to access.  I'd appreciate any help - thanks

  What happens if you select:
  Start-> Run-> "taskmgr".
  ?

  There should be a "taskmgr.exe" file in the C:\windows\system32 folder.  If she is not there, try to make a copy of it from another machine to Windows XP, it by copying.

  Your system could be achieved a malware.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)

  The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

  The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

  You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

  Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

  Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

  c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

  Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

  The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

  Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

  Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:

  Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, restart, test your task manager and we can repair any other pending issues.

  If things look good, you can delete the c:\windows\system32\jose.exe file.

• Windows Task Manager - I clicked on cascade tab windows yesterday.

  In the center of support and help that he is told to do a right click on a place empty in the taskbar and choose uncascade. It only gives me the possibility of uncascading. It gives me the possibility in cascade.  I don't know what program or the window that I had opened and selected when I mounted cascade yesterday. If you know how to find this possibility, then maybe it would give me the possibility of uncascade if I launched the same window and selected. Problem is that if its cascading show no open windows on the Task Manager. I want to just uncascade because I use a lot the Task Manager to manage or stop or update programs and I can't do if I don't see the program open the Task Manager window.

  Hi Marne,

  First of all, make sure that you logged in with an administrator account. Then change your password to a password strong. Follow the instructions on creating a password on the link below.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/passwords-create.aspx

  Watch user accounts and remove all user that you use no or unknown accounts.

  Download the Microsoft Scanner from the link below: the page also contains security measures good you can review.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  It is better to have a single Antivirus running real-time protection. You can use other analytical tools, but not the multiples at the same time.

  If you use wireless for your home computer, I reset it and change the default SSID immediately when the security on your network wireless configuration. Most of the ships with a SSID default and you should modify to prevent hackers to access your network.

  Make sure you have a firewall is enabled on your router and your computer.

  If you are still having difficulties to access the folders or files, take possession of the file.
