I've been having a bit of computer trouble latly and and I have pretty much solved everything on my own ecept when I try to open Task Manager it will open and imidiatly close itself, I've tried all of the ways I know to open the Task Manager but none of them seem to work, I was wondering if anyone here could tell me another way to see all of the running processes on my computer, perferable and webiste or cheap program

TIA

Having this happen is one symptom of the Rbot virus, which allows a remote user to control some of your computer functions, steal data etc.

Check and see if you have a file called VPC32.exe...if you do, disable system restore, reboot, run an up to date virus scanner, and clean from there.
