August 13, 201313 yr I have a NASTY virus that I need some ideas and help to remove. So far it is preventing me from accessing my task manager and msconfig. It is also preventing me from logging into safe mode. The computer is Windows XP.
August 13, 201313 yr If you don't have a win pe / bartpe disk, you could try autoruns and process explorer - some malware prevents these running based on their filename, so try renaming them if they fail to launch.Good luck!
August 13, 201313 yr Sometimes the virus is dumb... You could try to make a copy of taskmgr.exe and rename it and see if the renamed, copy is able to open.
