Default I think I got a virus, cant use Task Manager...

So my little sister downloads some new Sims exe off [censored] and wants to play it on my big monitor while I'm gone, she does and it gave her some corrupt file message, now both her computer and mine can't access Task Manager via Ctrl Alt Dlt which makes me quite nervous.

I ran AdAware yesterday and it caught some Malware but the problems still there, any ideas on how to tackle this?

Thanks guys.

I believe the executable name is taskman.exe It should be in c:\windows\system32 Try double clicking on it.
