Re: Malware restricts task manager and active x

Checking for files going by the same name but different extension might also be a good idea.. like cmd.bat or taskmgr.com. Especially since when needing to launch a command prompt, unless you specify "cmd.exe" it'll launch the wrong one.

I forgot the name of the virus I saw do this but the scanner did not pick up the dummy files.
