Looks like superanitspyware.com did it. Thanks so much! The other 2
replies did not help except pcbutts program was the only thing that
was able to reinable my Task Manager. Thank you pcbutts. My
daughter's computer was also infected today with Spymaxx. Which was
the same type of malware. superantispyware purged all of the trojans
and spyware as well. I'm so glad you answered my call for help as I
was just about to format and reinstall xp. Thanks again.
