    Try to repair your OS and it might re-install the task manager

    Try double clicking on the task manager window, just below where the menu should be. Sometimes it goes into some weird mode where it doesn't actually show up like a window, and you can't really do anything with it.

    Then I guess you should repair the operating system

    Thanks a lot guys for you help, I eventually resolved it by altering certain settings within the registry settings, apparently the name of the virus is W32 Sohana which replicates itself in your system and beginnings to disable windows functionalities, hence bringing your system to a halt. but after switching the systems restore off, ran the latest antivirus update, then went in to restore the appropriate settings, system is working OK...
