How to Re-Enable Windows Task Manager when disabled by a Virus.
Many virus and Trojans in the network are infecting your computer and they modify the system files. The most common Trojans rewrite the system files or the registry file to disable some mandatory services of your computer. Suppose your computer is infected by virus and you want to remove the virus manually from your computer.
You might also wanted to Remove Virus Manually From Your Computer. If you still have any problem you can install windows xp from usb.
At first you need to know which process are causing the problems. You can identify it from the Task Manager. But the virus programmers are much aware about this system and they make their program such that it disables the Task Manager from the registry.
In such case when you try to open the Task manager by pressing Alt + Ctrl + Del, a message appears like Task Manger has been disabled by your administrator. So your first object is to enable your Task manager to identify the harmful services that are running in your computer. Next you can kill the processes to stop running. Here I have described some easy and simple way to re-enable The Task Manager.
A. The procedures to re-enable the Task Manager without using any soft pack
1. Re-enable the task manager from Registry
The Task Manager can be enabled by modifying the registry entry. In some case the registry access is also blocked by the virus. Then you must get first the access of registry to modify it. You can enable the access to the registry using the Disk Heal utility, which have mentioned later in this article. However if you have the access to registry then follow the steps below:
2. Re-enable the Task Manager through Run Command
You can also re-enable the task manager from the Run command.
3. You can also make a registry file to enable the Task Manager
If you do not want to edit registry manually then you can make a registry file to enable the Task Manger.
Open Notepad.
Copy the following codes exactly as it is in the following:
Now double-click on the registry file that you have created and restart your computer.
