W32.Bugbear@mm did that to an XP machine I cleaned last month & I'm using it right now w/ no need to reformat, only 2 junk files lost. Head to Symantec.com, I used a Norton System Works CD, booting the Utilities off CD to gain the access I ran Win Dr., then Disk Dr. which required a restart(Still haven't figured out why yet, but think it's NTSF file structure related), then ran the NSW AV by booting from the CD, it located the virus and cleaned it enough to allow that start menu button to work, then got the removal tool from Symantec & cleaned up the mess.

Good Luck.

Good Luck.

can you go to safe mode?
I would save all necesary files then rebuild the machine. Before putting back the files to the freshly installed o/s, scan these with latest update NAV then transfer them back.
Infected with Klez or bugbear, depends on level of damage done, it's best to reinstall windows.
