Would appreciate it if anyone here can enlighten me on the problem. Thank you all very much in advance.

Have you looked in Start>All Programs>Startup?

Yes, checked but it is not there.

The built-in Task Manager is system32\taskmgr.exe. But the Hijack This log shows your PC appears is running it from C:\DOCUME~1\NURFIT~1\taskmgr.exe which seems a bit dubious to me. But I can't see what's starting it.

Did you copy it there yourself? If not, I would suggest you check for viruses/spyware etc, just to be on the safe side.

Do you recognise all the other running processes as being genuine for your PC?

If you do suspect virus/spyware the -Virus/Spyware discussion Forum should be able to help. Post your Hijack This log there and people will check for dodgy entries.

Hi SPV

Yes, I did copy the taskmgr there myself but that was when windows complained that the taskmgr was missing in that folder.

I will post at the Virus/Spyware Forum, thanks for the advice.
