• How can I know what "Treatment" (as listed in Windows Task Manager) are necessary and who should be "done"?

  Running Windows XP (home edition)

  I recognize some of the process that some I'm not.  Most is listed as 'System' under the name of system, some like the "owner", some as "Network Service", some as "Local Service".  Should I still worry about them?  (I'm hoping to speed things up).  Thank you!

I noticed in my USB a folder named 'My documents', as novice I clicked on which you wonder what do my documents in USb and without knowing the virus got into my system as well. Minutes later my task manager, run, Control Panel, help and registry editor disappeared. Not only that I could not even set up the date and time as he said still not authorized by 'administrator' if I'm the administrator; and I couldn't run all the anti virus programs. You can imagine that I was powerless. I copied my C data to other readers and tried to re install windows. Once I got however the virus itself distributed sort of other readers and I opened the windows got new virus. Now my pc won't start, won't show windows, it will re-start itself over and over again and is not re boot the XP cd if I try to re install. What should I do? Could what virus be? And how do I get rid of him? Please help me with this.

• The Task Manager is not working

  Original title: MANAGER of the TASKS DOENSN can't WORK

  THE DOENSN CAN'T WORK TASK MANAGER

  What exactly does "Does not WORK"?

  You see one of these messages:

  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.

  Or nothing seems to happen when you call the Task Manager?

  Some malicious software is aware of the methods you are most likely to use to find and remove it (invites the Task Manager, System Restore, command, Internet, Google, etc.) and prevents things from work.

  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 process running as well
  beat 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 make at least 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 (sorry, Jose).

• How can I enable the Task Manager after recovering from an attack of Win32.GEMA

  Hello

  I am running Windows XP SP3.

  I have recently had an attack of the Win32.GEMA Trojan horse. Details of it are here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FRansirac.G

  I recovered my system using:

  AVG Rescue Disk

  Kaspersky Rescue Disk

  BitDefender Rescue Disk

  Scan of MalwareBytes

  McAffee analysis

  Hitman Pro Scan

  Spybot scan

  Eusing Registry Cleaner

  CCleaner

  Overkill maybe? But it worked... Up to now

  Apparently, the Trojan horse disables the Task Manager and that is I'm having bad to restore.

  I followed the advice in this article from Microsoft - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913623/ - but when I followed this part

  To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for a specific user, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
  3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
  6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  7. On the file menu, click exit.
  8. Restart the computer.

  N ° 5 says that disable TaskMgr should appear in the right pane, but there is no entry to disable TaskMgr. All it is an icon of the small 'ab' (the default) beside it, then, REG_SZ.

  Then I tried to follow this part of the article from Microsoft

  To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 for all users, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the computer.
  2. Log the computer by using a user account with administrator permissions.
  3. Click Start, click run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\
  5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
  6. In the value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  7. On the file menu, click exit.
  8. Restart the computer.

  This time off TaskMgr was in the right pane - this time with a little "ohho? icon followed REG_DWORD

  I tried to create a new entry for the current user by copying one for all users, but not joy.

  Any suggestions?

  CTRL + Alt + Del does not receive any reaction whatsoever, no Ctrl + Shift + Esc or click with the right button on the barv task and selecting the Task Manager

  Thank you in anticipation

• Get the "pcwum.dll is missing" error message when you open the Task Manager

  Sometimes, when I try to open the windows task manager it says: "Het programma kan niet worden gestart omdat pcwum.dll Land op uw computer.

Can I download and extract, but whenever I try to install it it says it can't find the driver detection program. I have an AMD ATI - Radeon 5700. My computer crashes now and then. I get the famous blue screen, who said he had a problem with a driver (probably one of my graphics card) and needs to restart. When it restarts I have first option starting in safe mode, but I can't update my drivers in safe mode so that didn't help out me.

• Windows 7 starts with a black screen (since the last update), if I go to the Task Manager.

  * Original title: startup error

  Windows 7 starts with a black screen (since the last update), if I go to the Task Manager and processes there are 2 sessions of "run once container" if I stop or another (they are two different size) windows lights up normally.

  Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  Thank you for the information.

  System Restore helped to heal the cause (last option of course)

  not sure about the Windows update that seemed to start the problem, but it is 2 instances of run once Wrapper were running.   I have found that if black screen you started the Task Manager, then selected and close it, either run it once windows Wrappers would begin.

  Anyway thanks for your help, we are now healed.

  All of the tabs in the Manager tasks is very important programs required for your computer to run, that's why we recommend you not to process the end of it.

  Regarding your question on Center.exeis a process installed on your computer by the manufacturer. It allows devices to run, such as USB Server and Wireless LAN network. It is recommended that do not end its process, for which reason it can cause such devices do not work correctly.

  Kind regards
