I worked on a system today where the task manager, regedit, ctrl-alt-del,
Internet Explorer, and Safe mode were all disabled. This PC has the Verizon
Security Suite installed and updated, though it appeared the malware had
turned off the AV component (so much for the VSS). I was able to install,
update and scan with both MBAM and SuperAntiSpyware. They found and removed
a quite a bit, but the PC was still crippled. All of the disabled features
remained broken, and Firefox and Opera could only browse sporadically.

Is there a particular malware responsible for the above, or has this become
the norm?

It's a series of policy keys which lock you out of various things.

You can use dial a fix, just google it to undo most of those.

Sure is, glad I could recommend it to you. :)

If you ever need any help, just ask. I don't even hold your assine posts
(that you didn't read obviously) about me. Anything to better educate you
so your customers don't needlessly suffer.

smitfraudfix is also pretty good at repairing any malicious policy
changes..... Dial a fix is an essential tool though, its magic for fixing
windows updates.
