task manager help

[noreen]

hi, i know not to much about the technical stuff of my
computer. but i have a windows xp home edition laptop and i
am trying to get into the task manager to see if i have
that virus, the worm blaster, and so i press
ctrl+alt+delete to open it, but i can't get it to stay
open. it will open then close quickly, to quick for me to
see anything. any help would be much appreciated!
thanks,
noreen

opens. So test for this first.



or



There are some other causes but the above is the most common.
