Hi and welcome to Geeks.

You're in a bit of a pickle aren't you.

Has your laptop got a floppy disk drive or CD RW? If not, do you have access to another machine with one of these?

If so, download HijackThis_sfx.exe and copy it to one of the above removal storage devices.

Switch the infected machine on and immediately start tapping your F8 key until you get to the Advanced Options menu.

Select Safe Mode from the options and install HijackThis from the floppy/cd if you can.

Most malicious files don't run in Safe Mode so hopefully you can at least do this part.

Generate a log and copy it to the the floppy (cd/RW drives generally don't work in Safe Mode).

Then get back to your laptop/alternative machine and post your HijackThis log please.

This won't show me everything but it's a start.
