    Ok, so yesterday, I somehow got infected with a horrible virus, I think it was possible a trojan horse or something along the lines of that. So then, I restarted my computer, but I chose "Safe Mode with Command Prompt".
    However, it started listing a bunch of files on the black screen, so I shut it off, and tried to restart it, but failing.
    Then, the computer said I should do a "system restore", so I found my system restore CD's, and had the computer do a system restore. Everything was going well, and when it finished restoring, I restarted it, yet again to see a message saying there was a fatal error and I need some sort of software or something. Now, I REALLY need to get it fixed, PLEASE HELP! Thanks sooo much in advanced!

    Get BitDefender or Norton and install and run a full system scan.

    You shouldn't have shut it off when it was showing lines of code. That was Safe Mode initializing Windows files. When you shut it off, you must have damaged those files.
