Be sure your firewall is activated. You can chose to use the windows firewall pre-installed on your Netbook or you can activate the firewall in you anti-virus package.
Run a cleaning software designed for detecting spyware on a regular basis to maintain Netbook processing speed and to remove items picked up by your Netbook while surfing the web. CCleaner is a solid free version of spyware cleaner.
If you suspect malware on your computer because it is running slowly, has strange pop ups or the anti-virus software detects it, then download software designed to find spyware and eliminate spyware. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, A-squared Free and SuperAntiSpywate Free are free versions of adware removal tool to consider. These tools get rid of spyware when used individually or in tandem. Continue to run the software until all spyware, viruses and malware are removed.

Antivirus blocked some of the sites i navigate

'Antivirus 360' is malware -- in effect a virus in itself.

If you can, go to a website named http://malwarebytes.org and download a trial copy of the MalwareBytes Anti Malware.
Install it, let it do it's update, and perform a full scan. When it is done, it will tell you to click to view results, then click to remove all items found.
It will prompt you to reboot the PC at that time. Let it reboot the PC. Then download and install a decent antivirus like Avast or AVG.

Registry editor,task manager not opening

Hi, Yes, you are right !, your system is infected with a serious virus and you cannot use your computer unless you remove the visus.
This problem happens when there is no updated antivirus running.
To fix it, download/ aquire MacAfee antivirus and its latest update.
Boot the system to safe mode, and install the macAfee and update. Run the scanner and remove the virus.
Try and let me know if its not succeeded.

thank you
