Try going loging into safe mode by pressing F8 when computer starts (when
you see a menu consisting of 1-2 items on a black screen)
If you manage to log in, please read in other messages in this group (I
don't wan't to repeat what other people have already said) what to do to get
rid of the virus. Don't forget to enable your firewall first!
Regards,
Yuriy
