There are two versions of the virus that you have mentioned

Also download SDFix from :http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/removaltools/sdfix.exe and run it in safe mode and post the logs of SAV32CLI and SDFix back here for analysis because you may be infected with more then just the virus you have mentioned above.I'm saying this because the experience Ive had with this virus does not disable the Task manager and command prompt

A lot of viruses/worms can disable utilities, the most well known for disabling msconfig, task manager, registry editor is Alcan/Alcra worm, but these days there are many other viruses that do the same thing.
Scan your system with Hijackthis so we'll have a better idea of what infection it is.
Can you run Hijackthis and show us the log please?

Don't have experience with this virus myself, but there is a removal tool available for it;
