My only advice is to try and system restore. You can do this by the main start up and it should say press F11 to restore. Thats the only thing I can think of and good luck getting your computer back man

I have had viruses like that. Turn off your computer and try opening it in safe mode.

Active X Control should be safe.
Do a virus scan.

type "sdat4761 /e " (no quotes, make sure you type the same filename as the one you downloaded, mightve updated by now)
wait a few for the contents to expand
type "scan /adl /del" (no quotes) this will scan all local drives and delete any virus it finds.
