Task Manager Absent and more

[CinciDave]

I need some advice and help.
Task Manager does not appear with ctrl-Alt-Del or when I
try to open it from my hard disk. Also I cannot get
msconfig to open from the start-run sequence. Thanks for
any help or assistance on this problem which has plagued
me for the past week or so, ever since the virus outbreak.
My system appears to be clean at this time (McAfee is up-
to-date), although I probably was infected at some point
with SOBIG.
