HappyEaster to you too.

I also run windows xp....I have no such file on my hard drive....I have TaskmAn.exe...not taskmOn.exe.

Start the computer in safe mode after a 30 second complete shutdown (tapf8 on boot) then scan with your AVG...that should kill it.

I would also do an online scan here:

If you need more help...post back.

_step_ is likely right...

Try this tool:

http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Download stinger.exe to disk.

Boot to safe mode after 30 second shutdown.
Run the tool allowing it to fix/delete what is found.
Reboot and run again just to make sure all is clean.

I never give up!
