@itsmister2u Can you open the task manager in safe mode?

[justusgerretsen]

i can not even windows task manager anymore. I tried all 4 ways , but none works anymore. HELP

[mcbeatbox937]

@justusgerretsen If you can't start task manager, try safe mode by pressing F8 when starting your computer before the windows logo comes up and select safe mode from the list. Then try to find the hotfix.exe and registry settings to remove.

If you want to spy on a computer, try downloading SpyRecon software. I used it to secretly monitor my daughter's emails
