Well, the right answer is to restore the system
from backup (but one presumes you would have
done that if you had such a backup.)

[And I VERY seldom recommend re-installs but
this might be such a case.]

Probably best attempt without a backup is to do a
"Repair Install".

This is probably the most overlooked procedure in
modern Windows systems.

Install from the original CDROM -- and choose the
same directory -- MAKE SURE that your are prompted
for "REPAIR".

Although a virus MIGHT survive in some minor file,
at least it will (temporarily) fix all the main files.

You might also try following this from one of the
CD based "Virus rescue disks" BEFORE you boot
back into the system.

Between the two procedures you might find all of
it.

This system can never again be truly trusted however.

As Herb suggested a reinstall may be your best bet and shortest path to
success. Keep in mind that if you do such you first want to decrypt and EFS
encrypted files if you ever did such. Also make sure you are logged on as an
administrator. If it still does not work see the link below on how to use
secedit to reset defined security settings back to defined default levels
which may help you access the service. --- Steve
