Hello Jimmer,
Can you access Safe Mode with Networking?
To get into Safe Mode with Networking, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu".Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

Here is another removal guide that involves registry editing:

Hello Jack thanks for replying no I can't do anything I press the f8 keys or the f2 keys and the virus comes up again. I had it before and got rid of it by using kasperskys rescue disk but that one had a windows unlocker in the menu but this time there was none:huh:
