Anyone look at the fix on that first link?

Particularly:
  1.. Click the Task Manager.
  2.. Click the Processes tab.
  3.. Press and hold the CTRL key and then click C:\WINDOWS\avserve.exe and
c:\WINDOWS\system32\*_up.exe.
  4.. Click the End Task button.
When did they put in the capability to hold CTRL and select multiple
processes?  While i've wanted this feature for a long time, it certainly
isn't valid on my WinXP box or the Win2k Srver sitting next to me.  Bah.
get it right.
