Can you start regedit? It remains open for at least 2 minutes? Can you start notepad? Or command prompt?

Do you have another antivirus?

The simptoms are very general for some viruses. But I suspect one virus for that (Gaobot, or agobot or another version). I had similar problems. I deleted the virus manually.

Scan for Viruses, Spyware and Trojan Horses.

I donot understand people like you.. You think you have a virus, yet you completely skip the Read This First - Viruses & Spyware (http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=14;action=display;num=1089181015) In the Viruses and spyware section...?
