Did you check the answers that you got at PMBD and MTS? If not, I HIGHLY suggest that you do so NOW because the longer you wait and fiddle fart around going all over the net, the more likely you are that you'll have to do a system restore. This damn thing infects your system and eats into it, so the longer you wait and the more programs you use, the more it's going to dig in. And in case you DO follow the advice given on PMBD, I believe F8 is the button you use to start in Safe Mode. Good luck.
BTW, do NOT shut it down. Just restart and go to Safe Mode. Take it from there. In case you need help to locate the help suggested,
this contains the answer you requested.
