Hi,
don't worry just download a free copy of "AVG" and run it on full scan, this will sort all your virus problems then download a free copy CCleaner this will safely delete all your temp files for you, then defrag your HD and your problems are solved (i hope).

Try this, go to start, run, then type "msconfig", go to system restore, and see if you can revert the computer back to before you visited the site.
If that does not work, you will likely have to fess up, get out the installation discs and reinstall the operating system. Take an hour or two.

You got your self in a heap of trouble...
You can try to download Adaware (free) and run it. Also try windows defender (free)
However, your anti virus is for sure shut down and most of these viruses stop you from installing a new anti virus...
Good news is you will just need a restore (destructive) and you will be up and running again. Should not cost you any money.

The minute you start to reboot your pc, start pushing down over and over on key "F8", until you get into a safe mode. (The screen in the safe mode will look strange. Run your antivirus in the safe mode and should kill the virus).

Click on start menu
> all Programs
> accessories
> system tools
> System restore
Restore your computer to an earlier date where the problem didn't happen.
This should put the computer back to where it was before.
Also, once this is done, I advise you to scan it for virus.
