Use both.
1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan, no download) with BitDefender.

2. Scan for trojans and spyware and remove (free online scan, no download) with Ewido.

Hi there,
This is becoming a common occurence with the latest variants of malware infections. Unfortunately they are now doing things like locking down your task manager, registry editor, control panel, and stopping you from visiting anti-virus sites in order to remove the infections.
If possible, I would recommend you download the Free Trial of Prevx1. I have seen this program remove many infections like this, by scanning your computer and removing any infections free of charge.

Option 1) see if going to http://housecall.trendmicro.com works
Option 2) http://www.pcpitstop.com/antivirus/default.asp
If neither of the above work, you may need to have the hard drive removed from the computer, and hooked up to somebody elses' PC (with up to date anti-virus software) as a secondary slave HDD, and clean it up with anti-virus software that way.
If you do have to use this option, here's how to install it as a slave HDD: http://www.pcmech.com/show/harddrive/43/

Reboot your computer in safe mode and then carefully remove the virus files from the system. Reboot.

Go to www.symantec.com and run a free computer search... then identify the virus through this and delete it accordingly.
