I couldn’t access my task mgr either. It kept disappearing. I downloaded Spy Doctor on a USB and installed it in Safe Mode under an account that wasn’t infected. Like you, it only infected one account. Spy Doctor found the threat and eliminated it. None of the other sugestions worked for me but this did the trick!

I got the “Security Tool” today. It was saying that 48 threats/viruses were found and all this other mumba jumba. Does hitting F8 before the computer fully loads (making it go into safe mode) and then hitting enter to get into your desktop, then running Norton Antivirus & Spyware detector or whatever it is, actually fix it? Because all my desktop icons have completely disappeared & it’s only under my name (Windows XP Vista seperate accounts thing). My brother’s & dad’s accounts are fine. PLEASE HELP!!

Rebooted to Safe Mode with networking. downloaded AVG free, installed full trial version (can revert to free at the end of the 30 day trial) , ran. Problem solved.

This thing is driving me round the twist!!! It’s popping up every five minutes, putting me on dodgey websites and won’t let me install any anti-virus software!

I read over your instructions of how to manually remove this P.O.S. and tried but when I try to open up task manager it will flash on the screen for a milli-second and disappear. This infection seems to be preventing me from gaining access to it – - same goes with System restore and when I try to download anything that might help to eliminate it. Do you have any ideas of how I can proceed?

Hi,
My laptop runs Win XP and has got infected with Lsas.Blaster.Keylogger. I got the same pop ups and it also changed my desktop into a message saying my computer is infected with virus, worms, spyware softwares etc. I started manual scan using Norton antivirus and also used trial version of Spyware Doctor that caught a few adwares and cleaned them. But the annoying pop-ups kept appearing. Later when I restarted my laptop, my antivirus, Spyware Doctor, and other programs donot run. THe message I get is that the particular exe file was deleted and could not be found.
I am afraid of losing my data.
Will the manual steps mentioned by you will help me get rid of this infection? Also, do I need to re-install all the programs like anti-virus that it claims to have deleted now?
Kindly, suggest.

I tried a lot of different ideas, but the only one that worked for me was restarting the computer and hitting F8 before it fully loaded. This took me into Safe Mode. I then hit Enter and that brought me to my Desktop. I had prevously saved Adaware, but Spy Doctor is also very good. I ran Adaware, a free spyware program, and it caught the spyware and deleted it. This allowed my antivirus program to work again and I then ran that. I updated both programs first before I ran them.
This solved my terrible problem.

I followed the instructions to remove the lsas keyblocker, when I got to the point of ending the procesdsafter typing taskmgr and finding lsas, clicking on it to remove it, it would not let me, it said it was a critical programand could not end. Now what?
Thank you
