This is a symptom of a malware/virus infection, like Klez, Yaha, spybot,
gaobot, etc. You need to thoroughly scan your system, but some of these
will also disable antivirus apps.
Try restarting in Safe Mode and see if you can get into msconfig there.
You should be able to see and disable the launchers, but they are likely to
be recreated once you boot in regular mode. So, use the information you are
given to identify the particular worm and get the removal tool.
Also, get ccleaner,
www.ccleaner.com and use it to clear out the temp
folders and browser caches. This may well help you get control of the
system.
Once you have some control and can connect to the internet, use Trend
Micro's Housecall to scan the system. housecall.trendmicro.com
