I have a desktop machine doing something troubling... It's a Dell PWS-380, WinXP-Pro SP2. In an remote desktop session, I was wanting to see if a specific process was running, so I right-clicked the task bar and chose TaskManager. I got the hour glass icon for about a second, then nothing - for quite a long time.
I went to the desk and logged in locally. Same thing. I did a "chkdsk /f" command and rebooted. Logging back in (locally) I did see a gray icon for VIPRE Enterprise. Its agent version and definitions were current. I initiated a deep scan. (Hopefully, none of this is relevent, but VIPRE/SBamSvc was the process for which I was originally hunting.) So far, VIPRE has not detected any malware (yet!). I still cannot run Task Manager on this machine - either by right-clicking the task bar and selecting it, or by Ctrl-Alt-Del and clicking the Task Manager button. SO, I go to the machine and run "taskmgr.exe". To that I get a response - the file is not there. Any ideas as to what could have whacked that file? Thanks! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
