How to enable Task Manager in Windows?

21 May 2012 3 Comments

Last two weeks, when I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del to open up the Task Manager, suddenly this error message appeared on the screen,

task-manager-disabled
Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator.

It was weird because I am the administrator of the computer and I didn’t disable it but how come it says the Task Manager has been disabled by me, the admin?

First thing came to my mind was, it most probably the computer has been infected by a virus and the virus has modified the registry keys, disabled the Task Manager.

My USB thumb drive got infected by a trojan virus. All folders in the thumb drive had become shortcuts!

From the properties, the shortcut folder is pointing to 0x29ACAAD1.exe file. Kaspersky detects it as Trojan.Win32.VBKrypt.cvcu, and 35 out of 42 antivirus companies confirmed that it is a trojan virus – VirusTotal result.

Warning: Don’t double click the shortcut or you will execute the trojan virus.

Luckily, you don’t need a data recovery tool to fix this problem. The only thing that you need is just the command prompt.
