Need help removing System Security

I'm running Windows XP and can't get rid of System Security. It is preventing me from opening up programs. I have tried booting up in safe mode, but I get a blue error screen. It says that a problem has been detected and windows has shut down. I'm stuck and don't know what to try next.

Please download Ice Sword from HERE

1. Download the zip to your desktop and extract it.
   
2. Will IceSword open?
   

Ice Sword will not open

Did it extract fine?
Can you rename the file to winlogon.exe and see if it runs?

I have it extracted and on the desktop without any problems. I also renamed it to winlogon.exe, but it didn't run.

I cannot open dds.scr. I'm prevented from opening up a browser on my computer so I'm doing this through a second laptop and transferring the file via USB drive. Is this ok?

Yep.

ok, good. So the dds.scr is on my desktop and won't open. What else can I try?

Hello.
Please download MGTools using the links on this page:
http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=137630

Once downloaded, run MGTools.exe, which probably won't run because of the infection right now.
However, MGTools will still drop it's files, so navigate to this folder in bold:

C:\MGTools

Inside there, there is a file called "Analyze.exe" which is actually Hijack This.
See if you can run it.

MGtools.exe ran and opened up a command prompt

OK. I looked around the site and found some extra help on what to do next. Here is the log file.

Oh dear...
This machine only has SP1 installed, when we are now at SP3, which means you've left security holes open for so long, the malware has damaged so much we can't reverse it.

I'm afraid I have bad news.

Your system is infected with a polymorphic file infector called Virut. Virut is capable of infecting all the machine's executable files (.exe) and screensaver files (.scr). However, the problem is that the virus has a number of bugs in its code, and as a result, it may misinfect a proportion of executable files and therefore, the files are corrupted beyond repair. As of now, security experts suggest that a format and clean install, or destructive recovery if you have an OEM recovery partition, is the best way to clean the infection and it is the best and safest way to return the machine to its normal working state.

Backup all your documents and important items (personal data, work documents, etc) only. DO NOT backup any executable files (softwares) and screensavers (*.scr). It attempts to infect any accessed .exe or .scr files by appending itself to the executable.

Also, avoid backing up compressed files (zip/cab/rar) files that have .exe or .scr files inside them. Virut can penetrate and infect .exe files inside compressed files too.

Recent variants also modify htm, html, asp and php files.

Do not back up to another machine, as it may become compromised. Burn to DVD/CD, or to an external drive which has nothing else on it, and which you can format should it happen to become infected from the backups.

Instructions how to format and reinstall Windows can be found Here

Thank you very much for you help and concern. If it's as bad as you say, I think I will just use this as an excuse to get a new computer. As you can tell, it's about time anyway.

download or extract anyhing, please help me![b]
