Virus that closes anti-virus softwares

[LordBeotian]

When I try to just write the word h*jackthis (for example to search it in the
web) the virus closes the application I am running (explorer or outlook).
When I go to the website of h*jackthis the virus closes explorer.
When I try to run h*jackthis - even if I renamed the file - the virus closes
it immediately.
The same happens for other softwares like s*lent runners.

Some anti-virus softwares are not closed by this virus: I can run AVG,
Clamwin or Antivir, but Clamwin and Antivir are unable to detect the virus
while AVG detects a trojan horse but is unable to delete it ("access
denied").

What can I do?

Can you run System Restore?
