Several different options to get into Task Manager, one is to do the CTRL+ALT+DELETE you can also use CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, also right-click on the taskbar and choose task manager, as far as mirc is concerned, that's the name of a commonly used Internet Relay Chat program. But if you're wanting to uninstall it, and it's constantly coming up everytime you start, go into system configuration (Start - Run - type: msconfig) go to the startup tab, and look for any reference to mirc and disable it, then restart your system and you should be able to get rid of it, other than that, if you can get into task manager just end the process for 'mirc' and such.

As for the Mirc program, go to my computer, c drive, programs, see if there's an Mirc file and if so, open it. Sometimes they won't let you manually delete them but they have an uninstall program. The newer AOL versions are like that.

A computer on our network infected with "Yaha.G" would close the task manager window immediately. We had luck using McAfee's SysClean.
