You might try booting into what is called Safe Mode. Restart your computer and press F8, this should get you to the Advanced Options Menu and you will see Safe mode. Select this option and see if you are still affected by the virus. Booting into safe mode boots your computer into default configuration and you should be able to do certain things once in that mode. Once in this mode see if you can do anything like access task manager. If this fails then, in the same Advanced Options menu you could try boot to the last known good configuration. This should return your system to the time when everything was working perfectly. Anyway, I wish you luck. Andrew
