Sounds like something I've had before. Bloody annoying virus, not the same but similar.



Okay. What you should do is get gpedit.exe, or gpedit.msc up

(if you still have access to that) then change what disables task manager (User Confin.\Administrative Templates\System\Ctrl+alt+del Options). Next you change what is disabling folder options (somewhere in User Confin.\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer).



I'm not sure about the anti-virus applications for server but try threatfire (it might work). There is a cmd script application for a virus like this.



Actually I have a better idea, I'll give you the vbs code. Put the following code into nodepad and save it as a vbs file. Do not insert the hyphens at beginning & end, they are to separate the code from my writing.
