Subject: Task manager replacement

I've never had this problem before so far, but what you can do is manually replace the task manager by going into the registry and creating a new key under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options called "taskmgr.exe" in it create a new REG_SZ with the name "Debugger", where the value is the path to your task manager replacement (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Sysinternals\procexp.exe").
Since you're on x64, do the same in this path:
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options.
Here is the content of a REG file that will do what the steps above: http://nopaste.info/9a55f6c6c7.html (just save it as *.reg and open it).
