Might be a virus not spyware if it hides your task manager.

It doesn't hide, it was disabled by the built-in default administrator account I hadn't disabled yet.

Uhh...disabling the built in admin account really might not be too smart...it's how Safe Mode works best. I'd check in the Services for it.

(Right)My Computer>Manage>Services and Applications>Services

I don't think it's in there, but hey.

Thought of that too, I don't see it in there.
