I recently recieved the message that my TASK MANAGER was disabled by the
Administrator. As I am the Administrator, I found this very strange. I
restored the Task Manager through the registry, and I have run McAfee
Antivirus, AOL Spyware Protection, MicroTrend online antivirus scan, and the
MS Malware Detection Tool and everything says my computer is clean. My
question is "How do I know if my computer is clean?" Could a virus change
this setting before it was cleaned or deleted my McAfee?
