I got on some website tonight that put something weird on my pc. The screen showed blue and warned me that I needed to check my pc with spyware or antivirus stuff. I have both of those on my machine. This thing on my machine wont let me open task manager. Whenever I ctrl alt del it, it says the administrator has disabled task manager. My IE keeps going to this spyware website for $49.00. What can I do? I've gotten the background off and I'm running my spyware and antivirus stuff. But how do I enable task manager again?

open run type gpedit.msc, scroll to user something, administrative something , control alt del options. enable task manager, change the state to disable, apply it, then change it to not configured,apply it.

here are some steps i would suggest you to follow, so that the problem is completely removed
- download / install / run a freeware called CCleaner
(run two menus - cleaner and issues)
- download / install /update and run a freeware antispyware called spybot s&d
- download and run a small free tool called smitFraudFix tool
(this tool is the one that will actually get rid of the fake antispyware popping in your browser)
- to enable task manager you will need to download and run a small free tool called "remove restrictions tool" or RRT

use this 1st method
• Click Start
• Click Run
• Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK
• In the Group Policy settings window
o Select User Configuration
o Select Administrative Templates
o Select System
o Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete options
o Select Remove Task Manager
o Double-click the Remove Task Manager option
2nd method if 1st method is not working
Click Start -> Run. Type in "regedit" (no quotes) and hit Enter.
Search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ System.
Look for: DisableTaskMgr. Click on REG_DWORD. Value: 1=Enable this key (disables TaskManager); Value: 0=Disable (actually enables TaskManager)
Close RegEdit
Reboot your machine.

First use combofix.exe to get rid of most harmful viruses:

AND then use Spybot 1.5.2 to get of the spyware:

THEN uninstall all other virus and spware programs like Norton and McAfee! THEN download and install free "AVG 8.0.1":
