My start button has stopped working and my task manager has been disabled. I have not changed anything on my computer.
Remember - This is a public forum so never post private information such as email or phone numbers!
Ideas: I've tried to run the task manager, but it still wont work. It says the system administrator has disabled it. I haven't disabled anything. I can right click on my start button only.

This is symptomatic of infection so the first step is to do thorough scanning.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
