hello, today when i opened my computer, Kaspersky anti-virus 7 detected 2 trojans and deleted them, and asked to restart, so i did when i opened it up again, i tried opening any file it kept saying i dont have permission to open this file.

I did a full system scan with kasper and detected 4 more trojans all with the same name " Trojan Program Trojan downloader .Win32.Autoit.q , before that vundo fix didnt find any vundo, and hijackthis didnt open because i didnt have permission( dont ask me why vundo worked because i dont know)

Anyways kaspersky deleted the trojans and requested for restart and this time it deleted them i am able to open anything except the task manager, it says"task manager has been disabled by your adminstrator" dont think kasper can do more than this but i need the task manager and im afraid that i still have a virus.

I did the hijackthis log file and www.hijackthis.de scanned it for me and didnt find anything unsafe.
i need help to fix the task manager. thank you

Kaspersky is a real good AV. Just make sure you don't have 2 AV's or 2 firewalls running at the same time. If you have a 3rd party firewall, then make sure windows firewall is turned off.

If you get tired of paying for an AV, I would suggest Avast Free and Comodo Pro Free firewall, they both work great together.

You may want to try this:
Download Avast Free to your desktop, install it and let it do a bootscan on reboot. Move everything to the chest or delete them, whichever you like. Then you'll see if Kaspersky is missing anything. You may be surprised.

Then after the reboot you can remove avast from start-up and continue using Kaspersky. Or if you like avast, you can remove kaspersky. Avast is the only free AV I know of that catches viruses AS you surf the net. The other AV's have to have scheduled scans. It's up to you

You can find those progs in the red link.


Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!
