Try to restart you computer in Safe Mode.
If you can do that you are half way there, connect to the internet and download the protection programs called for earlier.

The hard part will be getting them to install on an infected system.. if you can get them installed and UPDATED... then running them should fix ya up.

Run each of those in Safe Mode. I would say that should take care of issues. Anytime you feel you have a problem with your system I'd recommend downloading new virus definitions while in the Safe Mode. My current computer came with McAfee (less than great AV software) but for a while it would do automatic updates. All of a sudden it stopped updating, windows stopped updating. I couldn't get it to load manually either, whenever I connected to their website IE shutdown. Didn't have that problem in Safe Mode and was able to clean the system up. I eventually removed McAfee and loaded the free version of AVG. It's stopped everything that has tried since. I use it on both XP systems and Vista. Haven't tried Windows 7 yet.
