Virus messing with my start up on computer....?

i just recently got a virus on my computer, i forget what its called...

but anyway, i tried to remove it with norton, spy remover, and a few other spyware, adware, trojan removers or whatever...

it detects it, but it cant remove. prob because it is in use. but anyway, i tried to remove it and couldnt do it, my dad tried to start the computer over in safe mode. ever since then, i cant even get the computer past the black screen in which you select one of

three safe modes, or start it up normally, or you start you can start it up the last successful startup or something like that. if i select any of those, it will loop back to the same screen no matter what. is there a way to fix it, or something, idk, its just f*ed up...crapola?

You could try calling your computer company and if you have a warranty they can probably fix it up for you for free. Or go to www.geeksquad.com and they can fix your computer for like $100 flat fee. Not bad, it's better than buying a whole new computer. Good luck!

Pop your restore cd in that came with your computer. Do a complete reformat and everything should reset. Don't buy a copy of windows because the restore cd already has a version already on it. Including all the drivers you'll need.
I assume you have win xp? you can reboot it from a floppy or a cd emergency disk to get past the loop, then if you have one you can reformat with your recovery disk or buy an new full version of win xp around $200 but it has to be the full version not the upgrade. I had the same virus couldnt do anything. If its still a good computer its worth the $ to get the ful version and do a fresh install.
