Some software can be installed in safe mode. It may not be a virus, but
could be a conflict with a startup program [including a
virus]/service/driver. Try booting into safemode with networking to see if
you can access the internet and download msconfig [search Google for
"download msconfig"] . Run msconfig and disable startup programs and
services which should allow you to boot into regular mode. You will have to
use trial and error, starting with applications, to see what is causing the
problem. An unusual entry for startup programs could be your virus. ---
