Windows Task Manager is going crazy!?

Question

Okay, I’m running a Compaq Presario with XP Home Edition, Norton 2009 & also, SuperAntiSpyware - Free Edition.

I had some little strange things happening in the last two days, example: When I open a window, it opens and then minimizes immediately (not normal) and does this with all newly opened windows.
* Some windows open, minimize and when you try to maximize them they won’t allow it and blink on the Taskbar about 10 times before finally allowing you to maximize them.

Task Manager is doing the same thing, but worse!
Open Task Manager, it opens in the maximized position and immediately goes to Taskbar, then continuously back and forth between Maximized window and Taskbar.
The only way to stop it is to right click and close.

I’ve run SuperAntiSpyware – cleaned everything, then afterwards ran Norton.
Nothing seemed to help and I’m not finding any obvious viruses or Trojans.

Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!

Answer 1

even you reformat and it finds anything remove dont be afraid.

fin safe mode F8 run malwarebytes anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware,and what they find you

delete it manually. then run ccleaner to cleand your pc, and mvregclean, to clean registry.

what mvregclean find you remove because the key is there but not the file ,folder or program.

you're able to go out out of Firefox in the previous working the game. All those tabs drain each and every of the skill out of your computer and could make you lag. go out out of any application that isnt necessary in the previous working the game additionally.
