    Have you looked at the malware/spyware removal guide sticky thread?
    If it doesn't throw anything up try repairing Windows with the installation CD, skip the first repair option and go to the second one......

    First post on here, but I thought I would suggest something. Boot into safe mode (like you have an option - sorry) then go to start > run.

    One you are in the run box type "restore" and then if there are restart points choose one from a week ago or so, then follow the prompts.

    Good luck.
