Default Computer Help, please?

Something is suspiciously up with my computer... many of the files I
delete dont end up in the Recycle Bin. It just disappears into thin
air...Where have the deleted files been going?

And I cant use Task Manager. It says "Task Manager has been disabled by
the administrator." But.. I'm the administrator.

Help, please?

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install,
update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from
your system.
