Hello, I woke up this morning, and and turned my monitor on, it was filled with pop-ups, of internet explorer, and windows system messages of being infected, along with other such things. Also my Task Manager, when I try to open it it says "Task Manager service disabled by Administrator" .. Well I am the Administrator of my computer, and I have tried to enable it, but I cannot find it, I looked in services. So, if anyone can help, please let me know, and if oyu need more information, I will be glad to share.

Hi

Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your Desktop. Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.
  • Close all applications and windows.
  • Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
  • When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt<-this one will be minimized
  • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and the extra.txt in your next reply
