back up files and do a system recovery. this is done by pressing F5,F6,F7,F8 or F9 as soon as you start your machine up. I cant remember which one it is exactly just bash the F keys and it will come up. Or you can acess it from the control panel, but a full systemrecovery should get rid of everything.
