I came across this on a mates PC a few weeks ago.
I cant remember the names of the .exe files but none
of the scanners I tried would detect it at that time.
I removed it by booting in safe mode and deleting the
..exe files and removing the reg entries.
It may have been this.( see below)
Try running " regedit " if this wont run, This along with
a crippled task manager are two symptoms of the
W32.alcra.F or similar worm.
