Task Manager file NOT missing, but a virus added a ‘debugger’ key.

I found a registry key under hklm/software/microsoft/windows NT/current version/Image File Execution Options…with taskmgr.exe and value labled “debugger”. When i removed this key task manager would open again from everywhere, without having to rename it. i also found a bunch of anti virus applications listed under this key, with the purpose i’m sure of stopping them from running, too. this wall all the result of an infection from Windows PC Defender.

Just type as normal. But use the ‘@’ sign and start typing the first name of the friend you want to tag. Facebook will populate the names for you and those people tagged will have the message show up on their wall.

If FaceBook will not load. Try re-freshing your router or calling your ISP. It could also be a socket error with your TCP/IP. As a final check, flush your DNS by opening a command prompt and typing ‘ipconfig /flushdns’. Good luck, and please keep reading our blog for more fascinating tech tips!

To remove all this stuff so ipconfig at a CMD prompt isn’t such a mess.  It’s just unselecting the boxes and then adding the one registry key.  Yes, you MUST restart.

2. Double click on Network and Sharing Center (along the top panel).

6. Next you will be faced with a Local Area Connection Properties dialogue box. Firstly under This connection uses the following items: ensure that Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) is not checked and select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click OK.

   

The above method disables IPv6 on your LAN interfaces and connections, but does not disable IPv6 on TUNNEL interfaces or the IPv6 LOOPBACK interfaces.
