I successfully was able to remove the "klez" virus.
Interestingly, Norton 2004 did not detect this... I was
only able to detect an remove the virus using the
symmantec klezfix utility...but that's another story.

My remaining problems are:

1) Task Manager will not start...I do not get the disable
by administrator message.

2) The User control panel is completely empty.
I don't know if this is the result of klez or not...it
could be a totally independent problem.

3)I am unable to reinstall Norton 2004 anti-virus since I
have run the Klezfix tool. Note: the lkezfix
documentation does state that Norton anti-virus needs to
be reinstalled after running klezfix.

Hoping for some solid ideas!

Thanks everyone for the help so far.
