A new virus/trojan/worm?

Hi all,
Please guide me how can I solve this newly appeared thret on my PC.
It seems that the subject matter has infected my computer but I can not detect it and remove.
Some malfunctionalities occur while working; such as:
Disabling some features of WINXP like: system restore, system properties, run window, registry editor and etc.
All good suggestions to remove it and regain stable functionalities are welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

cguan_77,
Admiring your kindness, I should say that the older version of AVG which I installed did nothing for me and newly downloaded version wiped out everything in my HDD but the virus/worm/trojan.
Please let me know other experiences that you may have.
Thanks for all.

If you post in the virus and other nasties forum, with a HJT log, you should get some very good help.
