i am having problems that i suspect are due to a virus or
other malicious code..
i am running XP pro SP1..
i downloaded the trial version of Sygate FW and also
Mcafee Virus Scan but neither will run, no error message
is given, i just get no response when running the .exe of
the programs mentioned..
so to see whats going on i want to look in task manager
but that pops open then shuts down immediately, alerting
me to the fact that i may have malicious code stopping me
from seeing the processes currently running..
what can i do??
