| Hello,
| When I try to open my Task Manager with right click on Task Manager or by
| using Ctr+Alt+Del, the task manager window just flashes for a second and then
| disappears. It does not stay so that I can see what programs are running.
| Just wondering whether any spyware or virus is affecting this performance?
| Any suggestions, how can I restore this?
|
| I have a windows XP system and I update my computer very frequently.
| Recently I also observed that sometime internet explorer automatically opens
| a window - Brontock.com (green colour webpage). Is that any virus symptom?
