The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application.?

Yesterday my Mum tried to install the free microsoft security onto her computer, but now I have switched on the computer i could not get windows up. The above application warning came up (0xc0000005) and when I pressed the OK to terminate the application as told to the screen went black. I have tried to turn the computer on SAFE mode by pressing the Ctrl and F8 button but I can't even get it into safe mode.

I am utterly useless like my mum with computers can anyone offer some much needed help please

    You can boot into a command prompt in safe mode and delete the program. Then you'll get an error about the program being missing when you start Windows, but you go into msconfig and uncheck the program's entry so Windows doesn't try to load it.
