Hey there

I have a windows xp professional, custom built machine. Until recently
it was working fine, i noticed it was running really really slowly, my
explorer was using 100% of my memory and then i started getting these
popups from the bottom right of the screen: GAIN. i didnt worry to much
but the i started getting virus warnings, all of which were Trojan Horses.
I have AVG and it said it was able to clear them out so i was happy. But
the idiot that i am, i wanted to get rid of GAIN, so i went to this site:

www.spysweeper.com/gain-remove.html

i followed the instructions fully, i had to do some stuff to the registry.
so i did all that i was told to. But now when i start my computer the
login screen does not appear. i just see the windows logo sign and
nothing happens, although i am able to view the shared files on my
laptop when the PC is in this state. Does anyone have a clue on what
to do? I cant even restore my computer because when i tried to remove
the viruses i was told to turn off system restore. i did and then i forgot
to put it back on. So i cant even restore my computer.

Need help, plsssssssssssssss. Am really desperate. I would prefer not
losing all my data.

Any help at all is appreciated.

Thx
