I can't open any other programs, what should I do.

Can you not run a virus scan at all? I would also say safe mode, if you don't know how it's F2 when you're booting up to enter start up mode.
If all else fails, the dreaded reformat may be an option for you..?
I'm starting in safe mode at the moment.
Everythings gone massive, is that what it is meant to do?
I'm Windows Xp
Yep,Quote:

Load up PC normally.
Right, I'm starting normally.
I think its only on one username, if I can't remove it with a program should I just delete the user?
Edit: It's still got the blue screen which i experienced yesterday with the warning.
No point, it will still be affected.Quote:

I dont think this is a virus but a malware so you're going to have to download this.

Scroll and download.
Install it then scan it, try to remove much crap you can, then boot up safe mode again and scan it again.
Could you tell me what it says on the blue screen of death?
Yeah 1 minute,Quote:
