MSCONFIG, REGEDIT and Task Manager Hijackedb

Unknown
edited October 2004 in Spyware & Virus Removal
I cannot get into msconfig, regedit or taskmanager on XP Home SP2. I have run AVG virus detection, Spybot, Spyblaster, Adaware and Highjack This (all latest versions) and followed all instructions in previous posts and still cannot find the problem. Any ideas? Thanks...

    I found the problem exe it was svchoste.exe.

    Here is the HJT Log. What should I do besides using HJT to remove it and deleting the file? Thanks...
