I've got some sort of trojan or virus which has disabled my task manager, as well as regedit, NAV, ZoneAlarm, and others. I've been searching my Windows folder for anything suspicious, but to no avail. I need some idea of what to look for, but I can't view the task manager to see what's running. I know you're supposed to be able to type "tasklist" in the command prompt, but when I do this it returns "tasklist in unrecognized as an internal or external command". Any ideas as to why this is?
I'm running WinXP Home. BTW, I installed a second copy of Windows on my backup drive so I could run some scans, and NAV, BitDefender, Stinger and Trojan Hunter, all with updated defs, came up empty. I even noticed while they were scanning that some suspicious files appeared in the scans, with names like "Half-Life 2 keygen", but these files, which had to have been generated by the virus, all came up as clean.
