So my computer decided to rebel against me...

This morning I found that my computer rebooted somehow, I guess it did one of those random reboots that I don't understand why they happen. Anyways, a few minutes ago I tried to open task manager to close a few applications in the background that I always close when my computer just started Windows, and I get an error message saying,"Task manager has been disabled by your adminstrator."

WTF? I live on a college campus dorm hall, and I know those fgts in the network didn't block me from my own task manager (OR DID THEY? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?) and I KNOW I didn't block MYSELF. So what's going on? Did I get hacked or something?

I have a firewall on though, norton. WHAT IS GOING ON?

maybe your computer figured out you are a gay basher and decided to leave you for a more tolerant user...

That has nothing to do with your network administrator. It's the administrative account on your computer. But yeah, you need to run Ad-aware and Spybot. And an anti-virus program, not a firewall.
