Can you boot in Safe Mode?

Restart the computer, press F8 until the text Startup Menu is displayed.
Select "Safe Mode". Once booted scan for malware and viruses. Below are a
few good ones I have had success with, and I use more than one when trying
to fix problems.

Also you might try restoring from a previous restore point.
