580508 2007-08-13 12:35:00 For a while this had me stumped. My admin account for some reason cannot open the task manager. Right clicking on the desktop toolbar shows a whitened 'Task Manager', meaning I cannot open it. When I tried to manually open it from its folder, it says my 'administrator' has disabled my access to task manager.

Tried searching for it, but it didn't come up.

Weirdly enough, all other standard accounts CAN open the task manager, heck, even the guest account could.

Some websites suggest I may have a virus. NOD32 and Windows Defender hasn't picked up anything.

The only way I gained my access back to task manager was to changed the Administrative Template option for the CTRL+ALT+DEL option to 'Disable' removal of the task manager.

What happened here?

580511 2007-08-13 12:54:00 After scanning with NOD32, it came up with this:

File C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-2947651407-2332395176-1028710855-1001\$RXW3SD6.exe is infected with trojan Win32/Bifrose.ADR. The file can be deleted. It is strongly recommended that you back up any crucial data before you proceed.

However, under the 'Available Actions' only 'Leave' is available. Clean, Rename, Delete and Replace are all greyed, so I can't choose them.

It appears to be some sort of trojan. What can I do?

580512 2007-08-13 12:57:00 Try emptying the recycle bin zqwerty (97)
580513 2007-08-13 13:06:00 It's empty. qazwsxokmijn (102)
580514 2007-08-13 16:44:00 have you tried running the scan in safe mode ? drcspy (146)
580515 2007-08-13 20:19:00 NOD32? No......I tried In-Depth Analysis, found two threats, but NOD32 doesn't allow me to delete them, only 'Leave'.

I dunno what to do anymore.

580516 2007-08-13 20:31:00 What you may need to do is when Nod32 finds the infection,or go to the log files and expand out the previous log/scan- find the infection, right click on its listing select Information, or when you have the pop up windows select "Information" there will be the complete path to its location, follow that path , locate it then delete it.

Depending on what the infection is you may need to do this in safe mode if it wont delete.

you may also have to alter your settings to"show Hidden folders"

Once deleted go to the recycle bin and empty that.

Rescan.

580517 2007-08-13 20:32:00 Yep, tried gaining 'information' but it comes up blank. Don't know what's up. NOD32 only prompts for an action during scanning.

It seems to reside in C:\$Recycle Bin - but I don't know what that means. What does the $ mean?

I'm posting a HijackThis log, hope someone can help me.
