The only way I can get back to t hem is to use alt-tab.

I don't think it was a virus, more like corrupted files. Good luck!

Other than reinstalling windows, did anyone find a solution? Thanks.

Go to the control panel and select Add/Remove Programs. Look for "WinSrv Reg" and remove the program by uninstalling it, also remove the "Friend Greetings" program. Then reboot your computer. That should solve the problem.
