Do you have your user account type set to "admin"?

That looks a little virus like to me, what operating system are you using and what antivirus do you have?

Do indeed run full system "thorough" antivirus/antispyware scans from Safe Mode as soon as possible (as recommended by rjfvillarosa).

And for a try at a quick fix, there is a Registry modification you can try for Windows XP Pro (if that is your version) -

Open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and navigate to:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

In the right-pane, double-click DisableTaskMgr and set it's data to 0


Yes, of course, you need to have Administrator priviledges to do this edit.

Best of luck

P.S. -- It is most likely a trojan infection.
