Task Manager problem

Hey all,

I've had a strange problem appear on my system...

Whenever I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, I get the task manager like I should, but it is not displaying correctly.

Looks like some sort of spyware/adware might have done this so that I can't stop running processes from the task manager. I've run Ad-aware 6 with the latest reference file but it hasn't made any difference.

Check the screenshot to see what I mean.

Any help would be much appreciated!

By the way, you can still navigate around the task Manager while it is in this mode. Press CTRL+TAB to go around the various tabs, as you would with any other app.
