Ctrl-Alt-Delete

[Working Class Hero]

For some reason, ctrl-alt-delete isn't working for me; it pops up for a second and then disappears before I can see anything. Help?

Run a virus scan, avg or the online Trend Micro thing will work. Also run spybot.

Mac keyboards don't have an alt key.
and with os X you could just ps aux to see em anyway

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Looks like you still have the remains of spyware on your system...

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4E7BD74F-2B8D-469E-92C6-CE7EB590A94D} - C:\WINDOWS\2020Search2.dll (file missing)

http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo%5...2020search.asp - gives advice on manually removing this.

I think it could be the reason your Task Manager is acting up.

You wanna get rid of all those "Hotsearchbox"

[Working Class Hero]

Okay, I finally got it solved. First I tried all sorts of Antivirus programs, but most of them didn't work or they would get closed by the virus. So, I had a friend of mine take a look at it and he said I had the Klez virus and managed to rid it off of the system. Anyways, thanks for all the help everyone, I appreciate it.
