[tesco]

first of all its "last known good config"

anyway, i had a virus like that once, it made system restore, regedit, taskmanager, and lots of other microsoft stuff not work anymore, but after getting rid of teh virus it worked. i cant remember the name, but im sure youll find a virus in your scan.
