How far do you get in the boot up before you get the failure box?  If you have your pc set to boot from cd, you could probably just format it from there, but let's leave that as a last resort option.

It seems to be Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c. If you boot into Safe Mode, can you do CTRL+ALT+DEL and then in Task Manager, File (Run) > Explorer? If you can, than scan your system with some antivirus (Dr. Web, Kaspersky or this free one - http://www.free-spyware.co.uk/30166.html (http://\"http://www.free-spyware.co.uk/30166.html\"))
