bcampesi After rebooting my laptop, Task Manager is disabled? - bcampesi - Yesterday I got Trojan.Frogexer!gen. I received a lot of message windows from Norton Antivirus saying that it had cleaned it up. - After that I realized that when I hit ALT-CTL-DEL, Task Manager button was disabled. - I enabled it changing DisableTaskMgr regedit entry to 0 - Today, I ran AdAware and it found a lot of things that were deleted - When I run a Virus FULL scan it does not find anything - After referencing a .asx file in Windows Media Player, I received the Norton Antivirus Messages about the Trojan above again - When I reboot my laptop, then Task manager is disabled again There must be something out there doing this. Does not look like something dangerous but it is annoying. Could a .asx file that I reference in Windows Media Player be causing this (putting a Trojan in my laptop)?. This asx file is the suspect: http://0vcz.com/videos/a/alejandro_sanz/a_la_primera_persona_507766.asx Any hint will be appreciated... Thanks
Best Answer: Ok, here goes some tips: - disable system recovery (i dont think its your case, but some times the virus is inside the system backup files and its "recovered" just after the cleaning. - have 2 AV instaled i use Clamwin. Its a great AV (the single negative point is that theres no "on access scan") -install a anti spyware (spy bot and ewedo are good choices) when you install spy bot, be sure to install all the optionals. It will to care of any changes on your registry. I didnt take a look at your file, but you cam place a virus on almost any thing. MP3 are good examples. And be careful about your passwords. - Fabio M
