Actually I got it to run.

How do you get in safe mode for future reference?

This should help you get into safe mode Starting your computer in Safe mode (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam) Trojan.Vundo Removal - Removing Help | Symantec (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2004-112111-3912-99&tabid=3) . I would copy these instructions , or write them down before going into safe mode . Might find some info on Microsofts website ? Good luck .

Sounds to me like you ended up with Security Tool. It's a pesky f**ker. I had it before. Same exact symptoms. IE didn't work, I could surf through firefox, but the virus pretended to be anti-spyware software, all the while drastically bogging down my system. I think it comes in trojan horse style. I ended up deleting some individual registry items that it planted in my computer, and AVG anti-virus ended up cleaning up the rest. Google "security tool" and you'll find some removal tips.

That's the one I had. What a pain in the a**. It was Christmas eve morning, and I spent a couple hours at least working on it.

Glad you got it cleaned up mredskins!
