Windows grrr... task manager problem

when ever i bring up the windows task manager, it disappears after a second or two, never long enough to do what i want. I reinstalled windows and it worked fine for a bit, but has since stopped. I assume it's some piece of software i've installed. Anyone got the same problem or know a fix for it?

 

Have you done a virus check with an up-to-date scanner?

AVG (it's free) can be found here

 

Oh blimey, we had one of these before. A virus causes it. I'll dig out the post.

Here you go, have a read of this:
