Symptoms when Sality infected your computer:

1.Task manager can not run, if you press Ctrl+Alt+Del will show error message: "Task manager has been disabled by administrator". When ever you change its settings in "gpedit.msc" it changes back to the same after some time.

5.Antivirus and firewall are not working. You can't run it and you can't scan with it; even you can run it and scan with it, the virus won't be found or the virus will be found but anti virus can't clean/delete it.
6.Windows can not run in Safe Mode.
