I have some viruses in my PC, and I'm tired of formatting it, further my antivirus is of no great help. What two most annoying things virus does is:

1. Disables the opening of Task Manager, i.e. Ctrl-Alt-Del.
2. Sets the "Show Hidden Files" to off.

Is there any way (Group Policy Editor or Registry Editor), through I disable the enabling/disabling of "task manager" and "show hidden files", i.e. I permanently set Task Manager to enable and always show Hidden Files?
