Brother has a problem and i cant fix it...

If he try to goto Task Manager or msconfig the window opens then shuts down instantly.........

Sounds like a virus. Looks like a virus.

You've got the SPYBOT virus:
These are the offending entries:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Winsock2 driver] winsock2drv.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [Winsock2 driver] winsock2drv.exe

Disable system restore: right click My Computer > System Restore tab > disable system restore

Remove the entries I noted above using Hijack This!

Follow the removal instructions in the SOPHOS article I linked above.

Reboot.

Once satisfied that you're clean, reenable system restore.

Hello

Disable system restore.
Reboot into safe mode, then take out these two:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Winsock2 driver] winsock2drv.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [Winsock2 driver] winsock2drv.exe

Although regarded as spyware, tgcmd is part of the manufacturer's software and so if you remove it, something may stop working. I leave it up to you whether you remove it or not.

Then re enable system restore and reboot, and run a full scan.

TIRED DELETING THE ABOUT FILES AND SAVED AND REBOOTED AND THEY ARE STILL THERE???????
 
Did you diable system restore first?

Tired of waiting for an answer? Try asking better questions. See: faq222-2244
 
And...they're still showing up on Hijack This! or on your C:\ drive?
You need to delete them from the actual drive. All removing the Hijack This! entries does is remove them from a startup position. You ned to then reboot in safe mode and delete C:\WINDOWS\System32\winsock2drv.exe

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



Thank you sooooo much, i Just told my brother to delete that file and restarted and BOOM zonealarm works , task mananger starts, msconfig and regedit all start perfectly...

I'd run a full scan over the machine now to make sure that there are no remnants left on the hard drive.
