Task Manager

[loria]

When I right click on the taskbar and click on task
manager, it stays on a few seconds and goes away. I am
trying to end the Worm process according to the Symantec
directions, but my task manager won't let me. Is there
another way to bring up the Task Manager window?

Loria,

Click Start, Run and enter CMD This will open a Command Prompt Window.
Then enter the following commands, as shown:

COPY C:\Windows\System32\Taskmgr.exe C:\Windows\System32\Taskmgr1.exe

Then enter

C:\Windows\System32\Taskmgr1.exe

Task Manager should now open.

If you've been a victim of the Blaster worm, see http://www

will look for and remove all currently known variants of Blaster.
