Well many times we when our computer starts lagging or we need to kill any task which is acting as a barrier for healthy computing,then we sneak in the taskmanager and kill the desired process(es).But sometimes what we see is the taskmanager is locked.The option which should look something fig 1. is now greyed out resembling fig 2.
( fig. 1 ) ( fig. 2 )
Then a beginner geek would think that "oh it's just the option which is greyed out i will go to c:/windows/system32 and then run the taskmgr directly but when you try to do that it shows a warning msg like this.
even when you are using the administrator account.So what's the problem well the problem is serious the computer is infected by a virus which prevents the user from using taskmanager(taskmgr.exe),and it does that to protect itself from being killed.
taskmanager is not the only thing which the virus(es) disables.Some of the viruses also ceases access to critical applications like registry editor(regdit.exe) and gpedit.msc, because they both can be used to restore the task manager.
You can get the help of any antivirus program to remove the virus but these programs usually just remove the viruses but don't reverse the actions of virus(es)..
It's because disabling the taskmanager,registry editor and gpedit.msc is a feature of the windows which prevents the unauthentic changes in pc's settings by other users. So, antivirus(es) can't do it but we can, which proves the superiority of men over the robots...
