Regain Control of Your Infected Computer with Security Task Manager
The presence of viruses on a computer can be a nightmare, especially when they disable essential system tools like the Windows XP Task Manager. This leaves users blind and helpless, unable to identify and terminate malicious processes running in the background. In my experience of fixing virus-infected computers, this drawback can significantly hinder the disinfection process, as disabling the virus's operation is the first step towards removing it.
When a virus not only disables the Windows Task Manager but also blocks access to the registry editor, the situation becomes even more challenging. In such cases, where traditional methods fail, reinstalling Windows XP might seem like the only viable solution.
However, there is a powerful utility that can provide an alternative and save you from the hassle of reinstalling your operating system. It's called Security Task Manager, developed by Neuber. This utility functions similarly to the Windows Task Manager, but with additional features and a risk rating system that sorts processes by their potential danger level, complete with a graphical display.
One of the notable advantages of Security Task Manager is its ability to display the manufacturer of running processes. This information becomes crucial when identifying suspicious processes. If you come across a process with a "potentially dangerous" rating and an unknown author, you have likely found a suspect associated with the virus.
Security Task Manager empowers you to take action against these malicious processes. You can choose to end the process, quarantine it for further analysis, or delete it entirely. By regaining control over the infected computer and neutralizing the threat, you pave the way for a successful virus removal.
To further enhance your cleanup efforts, Security Task Manager can be used hand in hand with CCleaner. Once you have ended the malicious processes, you can utilize CCleaner to remove any associated startup items, ensuring a comprehensive cleansing of your system.
Security Task Manager is available as shareware, but you can download an evaluation version to experience its functionality firsthand. The full version offers additional features, including Spy Protector, which provides an extra layer of protection against potential threats.

When confronted with a virus-infected computer that has disabled the Windows Task Manager, Security Task Manager proves to be an invaluable tool in your arsenal. With its risk rating system, process identification, and control options, it empowers you to regain control over your system, facilitating the removal of stubborn viruses without resorting to drastic measures like operating system reinstallation.
