Title: Windows error, messed up task manager
Post by: chellenc68 on January 04, 2010, 07:00:06 PM

I have a Compaq desktop with windows xp. I have a problem of an error message popping up saying windows has caused an error and needs to close.  My task manager is also screwed up, it has changed the way it looks. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!

I did have windows one care  which updated and scanned everyday but it messed up the same time this happened. I got bitdefender now which did find 2 tojans on first scan  and i use windows malicious software removal tool.

You need to replace Live OneCare with something that's supported.
