If the malware has disabled Registry Editor and Task Manager, you should be able to get to those by starting your computer in Safe Mode.
To start in safe mode, slowly tap the F8 key right after the manufacturers logo screen on startup. This will bring you to an optional startup list, choose “safe mode” (choose safe mode with networking for network support)
Proceed to follow the directions listed here, and reboot normally.
WHAT IF THEY HAVE DISABLED Registry Editor & task manager ?????
