I may be lazy and given up 2 soon but I Have checked my fav anti viri sites. but have come up bare..
Clients computer.. won't let me take HDD out.. or puter off site..

OS.. win XP home

prob:
1.. Task manager either won't run, or opens then closes almost imediatly.. can get it to run in safe mode?
2.. Norton AV .. also either won't open, or closes after attempting to re-enable active scan.. yep she's a bin dis-abled.. when attempting to run in safemode, I get script errors..
3.. Have run Ad-aware (35 items Bonzi Buddy), The Cleaner, these loaded ok.. tried loading PC-Cillin.. no go.. PAnda.. no go..
4.. disabled all startup proggies ... problem still there, and checked services, nothing ?..unusual..?
5.. tried Hybris/Badtrans/Klez removals all neg..
6.. currently checking into registry keys.. that will cause taskman probs..

normally at this point, I scann the HDD in a test system to determine if any funny files.. but as stated above.. cant..

a direction is what i need .. a accurate answer is not expected..
i may even have missed a AV bull some where..

Cheers
