Alright...

While trying to get rid of the VX2 worm thingie, I've found that my Regedit, Msconfig, and Task Manager no longer open whem prompted. I will sometimes see them for a second or two, but no longer than that before they close themselves. I have run Nortan AV along with Spybot S&D and Ad-aware SE, and nothing suspicious has come up besides files associated with VX2. I wasn't able to find this problem by googling it, nor on the forums. If someone could help or direct me to somewhere where this problem has been adressed, I'd greatly appreciate it.
