    You did not provide us with enough information to help you. You did not tell us what version of Windows and you did not tell us whether you can boot up in safe mode or normal boot mode and run anything. There are dozens of forms of this infection and we need to know what you can or cannot run. Also most importantly, we need to know your version of Windows since that will dictate the direction the fix needs to go in.
