Answer: Hi Chad,

If you could of started Windows, I would of suggested downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.40 from:

http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

If Windows will let you use the CD drive, you could put Malwarebytes onto a CD, then install on your PC.

If not, the best thing would be to take it to the local repair shop, have them backup anything of importance and reinstall Windows.

Hope this helps!

I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

Experience

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
