virus? worm?

V.I.R.U.S (worm?)
I am pretty sure i have a worm, i am able to find a few worms similar to this but not quite as bad. Preety sure it originated from kazaa, i am running win me. I am unable to open msconfig or regedit. "Operation has been cancled do to restrictions on comp. Please contact sys admin." If i open any web site containing the word v.i.r.u.s. in its address (and other words too like mcafee/norton/symantrec...anything that would help) or even try searching for those words IE or netscape close. I have symantec but it wont run. I cant even open folders on the comp with those words in them either. I cant do an online v.i.r.u.s. scan because they all have the words in their address except stop-sign.com which did not even detect anything.

Please Help

Go get HijackThis, it has the ability to show everything starting up, and can disable them. Post the log here.

may be useful. Why does anyone use Kazaa, anyway? Lately there have been a rash of nasties spreading over that network, and it's more than spyware, now. If these script kiddies would put their skills to constructive use, people would pay them instead of hate them. Let us know how it's going.
