This does not work either!! When I click on task manager nothing happens!!

PS Michael your sister is not to use the computer EVER AGAIN!

Have you tried rebooting?

We have tried everything…

Ok here is the story,
Michaels sister used the computer to go on the internet at our house. she used internet explorer instead of fire fox. so now we get 3456797644235 pop-ups and the computer runs REALLY SLOW. and I can’t get to the task manager to close down whatever she left open,downloaded, or whatever! And it really pisses me off!

michael’s sister’s porn went horribly wrong?

No…I need to get to task manager to close down internet explorer. I am on fire fix right now, and I get pop ups from internet explorer, like it still open. And I have right clicked the icon, went to close, and nothing happens!

In that case no one can help you…

I really hate it when people say that, and it really pisses me off. :slight_smile:

That said if it’s a virus, there might be a way around it, if it’s being blocked from opening. Try doing the following.

  1. Start -> Run
  2. Type "xcopy c:\WINDOWS\system32 askmgr.exe anything.exe
  3. When prompted hit “F” for file
  4. Start -> Run
  5. Type “banana”

lol

Just start in safe mode

You can put what ever you want, it was the first word that came to mind. No hidden meaning.
