Disabled Task Manager! Please help!
Okay, I have a BIG problem with my system, first off I was invaded by spyware of some sort. After getting advice I went into system setup and removed all the junk that was running at startup, it was a bunch of spyware and popup stuff, I couldn't get anything going when during login b/c there were like 90 things trying to run at once.
Anyway when i rebooted by system now, it opens up my desktop, shows my wallpaper but there are no icons or 'start.' I tryed to do cntl-alt-delt but a message says "Task Manager has been disabled by Admin" I know something is working b/c my screensaver comes on but nothing works, I just see my wallpaper.
Please what can I do without losing all my files?
I'm not a computer guru (as you can help) so I'm going yo need baby steps.

Then return the drive to the system in question, and "nuke and pave" - that is, format and reinstall everything from scratch, or if the system is newer than July 15, 2004, use the Symantec restore feature to do the same thing.
