Answer 1

CAUSE
This issue occurs when one of the following conditions is true:• The local administrator disabled Task Manager by modifying the DisableTaskMgr registry entry.
• The domain administrator disabled Task Manager by using Group Policy.
• A virus or a third-party program disabled Task Manager by modifying the DisableTaskMgr registry entry.
• The current user account has restricted permissions.

RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.To resolve this issue, set the value of the DisableTaskMgr registry entry to 0 (zero).

Note This registry entry will revert to its original setting, and Task Manager will be disabled again unless one of the following actions is performed: • The Group Policy setting is changed on the domain.
• The local policy setting is changed on the client.
To set the DisableTaskMgr registry entry value to 0 for a specific user, follow these steps:1. Log off from the computer.
2. Log on to the computer by using a user account that has administrative permissions.
3. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
4. In the left pane, click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
5. In the right pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr.
6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
7. On the File menu, click Exit.
8. Restart the computer.

.
IF this is the trojan Trojan.Vicsfram
When it infects your computer it adds a value
to the registry subkey:

To
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\System

it adds the value:

"DisableTaskMgr" = "1"

so that it disables the Windows Task Manager utility.

1. First, disable McAfee
2. Download AVAST from
www.avast.com
3. Run AVAST for a "thorough scan"
4. DELETE any problems it finds
5. Leave it run at all times

6. Then go to the KEY above and remove the
"DisableTaskMgr" = "1" value as above per instructions in the link below.
