Okay, my friend was here and she clicked on some active x download and then my computer went ballistic!! It says that Task Manager has been disabled by administrator, and it has removed various programs from my desktop and has corrupted some programs to where they won't work properly. It rmoved hijackthis so i had to download it again it made my limewire icon disappear but it is still on the computer and i get windows virus alert pop ups. it also put some icons of its own on here that saud "error cleaner" and "privacy protector" and "spyware malware protection"

It pops up with Worm.win32.netbooster2 and some vundo stuff and the vundo things path said byxqjdaa dll

The symptoms described — Task Manager locked, desktop shortcuts removed/hidden, intrusive “error/privacy” popups claiming infections, and persistent startup/browser objects — match a classic rogue anti‑spyware + malware combo that installs persistent autoruns and browser helper objects to block removal tools. Immediate containment and a careful cleanup sequence give the best chance of recovery without losing personal data.

  1. Contain: unplug or disable the PC’s network immediately. Do not click any popups or “fix” buttons. Use a known‑clean computer to download removal tools and copy them to removable media.
  2. Recommended, cautious sequence: boot the infected PC into Safe Mode (F8). Run a process‑killer utility (to stop active rogue processes), then run a full scan with a current version of Malwarebytes Anti‑Malware. Follow that with an anti‑rootkit scan (for example TDSSKiller or a trusted rescue disk) and a second opinion scan (SuperAntiSpyware or an AV online rescue). Repeat scans until no active threats remain. Avoid one‑shot scripts like ComboFix unless directed by an experienced helper — they can cause damage if misused.
  3. Clean restore points: after removal, turn off System Restore to clear infected restore points, reboot, then re-enable and create a fresh restore point. If the infection resists removal or the system remains unstable, back up personal files (manually copy data, do NOT copy programs or suspicious executables) and perform a clean OS reinstall.

To restore Task Manager quickly, import this registry fix while logged in as an administrator:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

After the machine is clean, install updates, run full AV scans, and change all passwords that were used while the PC was compromised. If there is any doubt about the integrity of the system, a full reinstall is the safest option.
