are running. I have run Norton Antivirus and two files
have a virus that the program cannot clean or
quarantine. The files are reuopdfxtt.exe which has a
W32.spybot.worm attached and the other file is
syslaunch.exe which has a W32.Adclicker.G.Trojan virus
attached. I am afraid to delete these files because I do
not know their purpose and I have to think that the two
problems(virus and TaskManager) are somehow linked.

You have a virus. Likely one of the following:

W32.Yaha

W32.Spybot.Worm

For additional help see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Create =
Emergency Copies of Critical XP System Utilities. This small VB Program =
will create backup, usable copies of Task Manger, Regedit and MSConfig =
(named Taskmgr1.exe, Regedit.com and MSConfig1.exe) in a new folder =
C:\EmergencyUtil. Many virus programs will intercept these programs, =
based on their original file name. The modified file names, allow them =
to be run. Open Windows Explorer to C:\EmergencyUtil and double click =
the application you need. The next revision will allow you to browse =
for the folder you want to place the backups in.

Additionally, see the Win XP Utilities section for Startup Programs =
Tracker. This small utility scans your system for startup programs and =
running processes. It also allows you to create a log file that can be =
copied and pasted into a newsgroup post. The contents of the program =
window are also copied to the Windows Clipboard, automatically. For =
replies to newsgroup posts, do NOT include the Running Services, unless =
its absolutely necessary.
