Back up your data by either booting with a Linux Live CD (Knoppix, Ubuntu),
a Bart's PE, slaving the drive into a working computer, or putting the
drive into an external enclosure and connecting it to a working computer.
Then restore your computer to factory condition by whatever method HP/Compaq
provided. Refer to your user manual or to HP's tech support website for
instructions.
It sounds like there is more to the story and/or your computer was infected.
Best to start over at this point.
