Task Manager

[Matt]

I had 6 Trojan horses that have all been cleared off my
system. I used 3 online virus scanners and clean
software on my machine to remove them. The problem is
that I have been able to resolve most of the issue except
I can not get my Task Manager to come up (using
Ctrl+Shft+Esc it comes up then quickly disappears and
when I run my mouse over the icon in the system tray it
closes and disappears - the icon and the program)

Furthermore I can not get Regedit to come up anymore.
Both of these applications work in Safe Mode. I tried
using sfc /scannow but once the check was done there was
no report or further information.

How can I fix this problem. It appears that my whole
system is fine otherwise.

Thank you,

Matt

Greetings --

You've more cleaning to do. This behavior, which also often
applies to MSConfig.exe and Taskmgr.exe, is typical behavior of more
than one virus/worm, the
three below being the most common:
