First I'd like to say thank you to anyone who gives their assistance in fixing this. This is a networked computer belonging to the school I'm studying at and has an infection which is starting to grind my nerves. The network admins have yet to fix it, so I'm seeking alternate help. I can't log onto this computer in Safe Mode either, so I hope that isn't a necessary step.
The "symptoms" of this infection are as follows:
