do u have any AntiSpyware of AVS suite running... if not get one very good and run a scan, also get HijackThis tool, and run a scan and then post the result log file here...

u could have used RegEdit to enable the option but in ur case its not working also..

get Spybot Serarch n Distroy and good AVS like Kaspersky... run a full system scan... seems u have Spyware or virus... :(

The legit svchost.exe process is situated in the System32 folder; any other location (such as is in ur case) could be the HAZZER VIRUS; and in such a scenario, it is known to stop using of command prompt (cmd.exe), and also the task manager.

scan with ur av and anti-spy in SAFE MODE.
