Wow you are insanly locked down haha it seems like you should have like the worlds secrets locked on your computer haha. That is very good for you though.
Everyone,
There have been some talks about a very strange rootkit that will make your taskbar glitch and will have your task manager pop-up uncalled for.
Has anyone else heard about this?
I also think i might have it.

But i do think that if anyone is smart enough to physically put something harmful onto your computer that they would also realize that they should just go into the task manager and disable all virus protection software. Even though if runs as SYSTEM, they can still see what it is by the description.

I know, but most people will not realise. Besides, I am the only user who can call the taskmgr. Not even the built in admin can - Well, not without reconfiguring my security settings, which are also protected

I use the tasksch for about 80% of my security. I have programed all sorts of things to happen. When an administrator logs on unless they have my username the system deletes them from the admin group and restarts the computer lol
