Hello genome,

The virus must be starting somehow, so i suggest you check the
registry, maybe using hjt (hijackthis) to see what is loaded at
run-time, if it still wont work, take your time and do a boot-up
protocol (its in same menu where you can select safe mode) and read it
then, there you will be able to see what services the system loads
while booting and kill the ones which look suspect to you.
Once you killed the virus possibility to load/start you should be able
to install some av. and kill the rest of the garbage.
If some system entries have been modifyed that bad (i dont think they
are), maybe a new installation will be the only way to get out.
