Task Manager can’t run because “taskmgr.exe is infected with worm Lsas.Blaster.Keylogger

Asked By kent woods 30 points N/A Posted on - 08/21/2012

My screen is swarming with error messages. A Security Tool error says that even a simple .exe like Task Manager can’t run because “taskmgr.exe is infected with worm Lsas.Blaster.Keyloger.

This worm is trying to send your credit card details using taskmgr.exe to connect to a remote host. 

Security Tool

taskmgr.exe is infected with worm Lsas.Blaster.Keyloger.

This worm is trying to send your credit card details using

taskmgr.exe to connect to a remote host.

OK

I’m really worried especially when it noted that it might be able to access very important data like my credit card details.

What software can I use to remove this very harmful virus?

Hi Kent,

You are infected with WinWeb security, bogus antivirus software which produces false reports and attempts to have you purchase WinWeb security. You have to remove it.

You can do so by following these steps:

1. Start safe mode by holding F8 key when you start your computer.

2. Now press the Windows key+R to open the run dialog box.

3. In the dialog box type msconfig

4. Then click on the startup tab

5. You will find an item which has all numbers like 85331323 or 46937130. You have to deselect this item.

6. Click ok and reboot.

Now it should work fine. If you have a problem even after this then try downloading Anti malware software from here https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/malwarebytes-anti-malware/.

Hope this information helps you.

Hi Kent,

It is really a harmful worm. As early as possible you need to delete it.

You can use kaspersky internet security to remove this virus. Kaspersky will also give you all time protection from then.

Thanks.
