boot computer and tap the F8 key repeatedly then choose safemode with networking open browser and go to safety.live.com that is microsoft's online virus scanner run protection scan then run the cleanup scanner it's free...or use another computer go to Avira.com and download a rescue disk it's free then set your bios to boot from cd/dvd and run the antivirus before anything can boot...Pandasecurity.com offers one it's free

Unless there is something on the computer that is worth a lot of work to save, do a clean re-install of the operating system.

If you try to get rid of all the viruses you will probably end up in the situation where a lot of system files have been corrupted. By the time you get all this straightened out you could have had a clean system ready to go with a lot less work just by doing the clean re-install.
