Task manager disabled, start menu changed, seems like a virus

okay, to start my computers start menu to get to control panel well its all gone everything the run, the control panel, all my programs gone only a few programs are left. like my firefox and some other programs. now to add just a week ago my computer got a very bad virus . i deleted a trojan virus but i still have no control over any of my ordinary programs, if there still there. whenever i right click the background and left click the properties it says "your system administrator disabled the display control panel" when im the only administrator and i know i didnt do that. could it be that the virus was programed to take administrative control and disable almost all of my computer administrative programs i mean imagine pulling up your start menu bar but theirs like only four programs on the left, your internet your mail and two instant messaging programs. now something disabled my internet and i, sense i didnt have control panel, had to go through windows media player go to search for content and click open my network connections and enable it. so i still have administrative control just missing the tools and everything else. please help im pretty much out of ideas.

• Start your computer in Safe Mode with Networking.
• Download combofix. This program will repair the damage done by the virus (disabled task manager, funky Start menu etc..) and essentially disable it... Giving you control of your computer again. Run combo fix and follow the instructions. WAIT for it to finish, even if it appears it has hung up.
• Get yourself a virus scanner, if you haven't already. AVG is a decent, free scanner. OR, just update the virus definitions on your existing one.
• Do a full virus scan... if you find stuff... Restart your computer and scan again until all or at least most of it appears gone.

You should be pretty clear after that. I've seen similar things a millions times and combofix has come through about a million times too. Please note it is not without its share of risk. I've used it literally a hundred times without any issues, but it gives you a warning that 1 out of 100 PCs don't make it out alive... Take it seriously and backup your stuff if you can. But you should be OK.

Chances are it has also disabled system restore, so make sure you you re-enable it after you're clean.

You should also run hijackthis and post a log because just running combofix wont fix the problem you can have malware that will come right back.
