Hello Sal_88,
It's not looking good whenever Virut is on a PC. It's possible that reformat is the most likely solution but first we will confirm that it is Virut and this tool has had some success on other systems.
Please do the following:
Step 1:
Download Dr Web from
here. Fill in the small form and download
It will download as an 8 digit file save it to your desktop
Restart in safe mode and run
Accept the enhanced version
Then run the quick scan
About halfway through you will be prompted to buy - just X the box closed
Once finished it will generate a log please attach that
Step 2:
If you are unable to run the above then we'll try DrWeb as a bootable CD and run it outside of Windows.
It will be better to burn this on a uninfected PC
