Removed viruses, computer wont boot to desktop, Cant get into bios?

Hi people,

Found heaps of win32 viruses in my girlfriends computer. (Using Avast). Couldn't repair any of the files so I deleted them. (yes, i shouldnt have, kicking myself allready).

Restarted comp and now it boots to login screen. If i press ok to go in it just logs off and goes back to the same screen.

Avast does popup when re-starting saying that running avset.exe would be dangerous. Either pressing yes or no to run program doesnt change anything. Still can't log in.

I cant get into the bios to change the boot order, tried F2, DEL, ESC (if i could get to change boot order, my recovery cd would work)

F8 does bring up the Safe mode, etc, screen but Ive tried running all and no difference.

ANY SUGGESTIONS??

1. Take drive out an run it as another drive on another computer.?

2. Try and get a startup disk for dos?

3. Some sort of program for a USB drive to try and boot up that way?

Thats all I can think of... Thanks guy/girls

Get your winxp install disk and repair the installation or restore from a backup.

Try doing a system restore and use some other virus program. Norton, AVG are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Spybot, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
you suggestion 1 is the best, put the drive in another machine and get the info off of it. then put a new operating system on it , or download from symantic, nortons ghost ( it used to be free ) , and ghost an image to the drive. i suggest this way so you dont have to mess with activation. windows can be a (bleep) when it comes down to that , any driver issuse from there a free site to go to for most drivers is www.driversguide.com
