Shut down
Power up and while you're powering up, keep pressing F8.
Then click on safe mode
Then try it.

What type of windows do you have? If you have Vista just system restore it. If you don't have Vista... then you should just take your PC to a PC "doctor".

Not quite sure what's wrong.

xp has system restore too... and system restore may work. you could also google the details of the virus and you'd find a way of eliminating it.

if all goes to fails, backup your work and format.
