    when i run taskmgr it flashing by quickly and appears in the taskbar, but when i mve the mouse near it, it disappears. when i try and run regedit, it opens and then disappears. when i right click on my computer and select manage, nothing seems to happen.

    here is my hijackthis log:

    Anybody know what the problem is at all, and how do I go about fixing it? If i have to delete anything or do anything with this log, could somebody tell me how to do it please, as i have never used one of these e.g. if i need to alter or delete something from it? Thanks in advance!

    These are the entries that have me a bit concerned, especially the w32tm.exe entry. The rundll32.exe entries may or may not be OK. A trained malware expert (like you'd find in the Major Geeks Malware removal forum) should be able to help more than I can. All the poker entries are a bit worrisome too. However, you are in the wrong forum and you should be in the Malware removal forum, and you should read and follow these steps: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 This program should help you to enable regedit and the task manager http://www.majorgeeks.com/RRT_Remove_Restrictions_Tool_d5635.html Running Dial-A-Fix can also help to fix certain problems http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4899.html
    Good luck!

    BTW- it's against forum rules to post in-line logs. ;) I don't make the rules, but there it is....
    (it's also strange that your main drive is drive D: and not drive C:. This may cause some serious problems in the future. The only way to change this is to format the entire drive and reload Windows after re-creating a new C: partition.)
