CoolPix virus has caused so many problems...

Hi friends !

I have a problem that my PC is virus infected. The virus name is coolpix.

This virus has disabled internet explorer home page alterations and made the www.coolpics.net website default website for internet explorer. It is not allowing to change the home page.
This virus has disabled the Run also so I can't type regedit or cmd or any other command and I need to searech for that particular file to open. So if I want to go on command prompt then I have to go C:\WINDOWS\system32.
This virus has disabled registry alterations so when I run regdit from C:\WINDOWS\ then it says that ....Registry is disabled by the Administrator.
This virus has also disabled task manager. So when I try to close or terminate an application or end a process by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del then it gives the same message that...Task manager is disabled by the Administrator.

If anyone of you have faced the same problem then please help me in this regard.

Thanks...

Thanks for the detailed explanation. It is a very nice explanation. But please look at the problem. When I run combofix from my desktop, my antivirus...Kesparsky Antivirus says that combofix.exe application wants control over the Operating System. It also shows that it is a suspecious application so I am little bit hesitate to give permission to this application for my operating system.

Please tell me whether I should give permission or not. Will it not have adverse effect on my machine.

And one more important thing...How can I find Hijackthis log file. Is there any program that I need to run for gettting Hijackthis log. When I click on the link www.hijackthis.de, it says to post the hijackthis log file. But I don't have any hijackthis log. How can I get ?

Please help me in this regard...

Thanks, is problem solved?
