I actually had something similar to this - I don't think it was related to a recent
thread that I posted about the cidj.dll though.
After being hit with a Downloader.Trojan alert from and HTML file which then
loaded a CHM file (which took advantage of the MHTMLRedir.Exploit) I tried to remove
the files through quarantine and deletion.
I had to manually remove most of the files. But a wierd side effect was that
later, when I attempted to start Windows Media Player, it would hang. I used Ctrl
Alt Del like you, and it showed the same thing.
After removing most spy/malware that had accumulated since my last checkup and
reinstalling Media Player 9 Series, the problem was solved.
