Adware, spyware, viruses, worms... Many of these things will block the
running of MSCONFIG, Task Manager and the Registry Editor -thus making the
removal of the intrusion difficult. Since the system tools are blocked by
name, renaming their executables is a workaround. Example: Rename
regedit.exe to regedit.com

Or you can run the tool created by MVP Doug Knox that creates a "backup
set" of those three programs for you:
