STRANGE - TASK MANAGER *HELP

[Overclocked412]

Anyone have any idea why this is doing this? I tried restarting and defragging, nothing will work I dont know what happened!

double click on the part above where it says image name and it should go back to the normal view

first thing i would do is scan for viruses and ad/spyware

if you don't already know avg adaware and spybot are the free things most people prefer

heh yeah double click on it

had the same problem for a few months a while ago, couldnt figure out what was up
so simple yet so annoying

[HeadBand]

heh ya learn somethin new everyday

still good practice to run regualr checks though what worrys me as at the top...looks like it could be standard earthlink stuff but i dunno but even if it is run scans atleast weekly but whos it gonna hurt to scrdule them for 5am or whatever daily

ya, I know. I was suspicious about the spywareblocker.exe thing and all that stuff too, but I looked into it all, its all standard earthlink stuff. I do virus scans weekly too (business pc, gotta keep it clean ) , so I knew this couldnt be one. I just tried the double click thing and it worked like a charm. I just dont understand WHY mikeysoft would even allow you to do that, lol, how frustrating is that =x. Thanks for all ure help guys
