Gang,
There are 2-issues here that may/may not have to do with one another, so
here goes:

I recently tried Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up my Task Manager (XP Home) and
received a popup window that stated "Task Manager has been disabled by
Administrator" message. Hmmmmm, being as I'm my computers administrator I
don't remember doing this....hmmmm. So....at about the same time my AOL
SpyZapper says it has found "Netspy Keylogger" spyware, I block it, then
delete it. I re-enable my Task Manager and Ctrl+Alt+Del produces the task
manager...Yea! Then about an hour later, Ctrl+Alt+Del produces the disabled
message, and "Netspy Keylogger" has reappeared...hmmm...This happens over and
over and over....

I am running Symantic Antivirus, running AOL SpyZapper, ePestPatrol Spyware
software, Spybot, Adaware, and now have DL'd Microsoft Defender which is
currently scanning as I type (found nothing)...running MS Malicious Software
Removal Toll now....ePestPatrol has grabbed the KeyLogger each time I run
it., and AOL SpyZapper has grabbed it a couple of times too..but it KEEPS
COMING BACK!!!!

Help? Thanks in Advance:)

Netspy Keylogger is commercial keylogging software. It didn't get onto
your computer all by itself. You need to think about how it got there.
A quick Google for "remove Netspy Keylogger" brings up quite a lot of
sites, but I know this one is legitimate and the instructions look
good:
