Greetings --

The type of behavior you describe, which also often applies to
Taskmgr.exe and MSConfig.exe, is typical behavior of more than one
virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html


Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the
Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose
definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free
on-line scanners to double-check your system.

did u try using regedt32.exe. if not please do give it a try

In XP, regedt32 is just a stub to launch regedit, for the benefit of
those NT users who are set in their ways. The result will suffer in
the same way from the virus infestation
