Start in safe mode by pressing f8 repeatedly on startup, then run your anti-spyware, and anti-virus to attempt to remove it. if all else fails reformat.

This is something you should take to someone who knows what they're doing. Geek Squad might be able to help if you are willing to pay, but usually a small business owner who runs a computer troubleshooting shop will not only pinpoint and fix the problem, but can give you tips to keep things like this from happening again.

donno, get your admin to download ad-aware and scan your computer, and you can run msconfig to disable programs on startup that you dont need/want

Here is the standard procedure to clean off an infected computer.
Visit http://www.majorgeeks.com
Download, install and run the following:
(drive cleaner)
ccleaner slim (removes junk and temp files so that the scans have fewer files to look through)
(anti-virus) Pick one, some infections disable cleaning programs, so try another until you can start removing the infections.
AVG
AntiVIr
Avast
(anti-spyware)
ad-aware 2007 or 2008
spybot search and destroy
counterspy
AVG anti-spyware
superantispyware
Malwarebytes Rouge Remover
Malwarebytes antispyware
spyware doctor starter edition
Download and run combofix

Once you get the infections cleaned off, you have to repair the damage.
Download, install and run

Dial-a-fix
Go through everything. This will fix a bunch of things that infections love to break. If you still have problems, (parts of windows is broken) you need to do an XP repair install.
Here is a link to tweak the registry so that the task manager is enabled. If you still have infections that knock it out, changing the registry setting isn't going to "stick". Clean first, then fix it.
Good luck
