Malware can knockout Task Manager so you can't see what is running.

You can use Process Explorer so you can see what is running until you get
things sorted out. PE is free and you can download it at the site.

Hi Maya

This tutorial will show you how to get the Task Manager enabled again

As Mr. Arnold posted above, this can be done be some form of malware.
would run a thorough antivirus and anti-spyware/adware scan to be safe
