Did it come with a Restore Disk? if so put it in the CD drive and bootup.
This is a Signature and not part of the answer, it appears on every reply.
This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.
Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.

This is the correct procedure, unless there is a Rescue partition on the Hard Disk Drive (HDD), which will make itself known during POST, "Press F12 (example) For System Restore/Recovery".
Just be aware that any personal files and emails, saved games, etc., will be lost so copy them to another HDD or a CD/DVD first, no matter if there is an option to keep your files in the Recovery menu.
If the system is unbootable as it stands, please keep in mind that particular brand has seen many problems and is a regular visitor here. Why do you want to do a Restore?

If you want, you can try cleaning up the infestations yourself:
1. Adaware 2007
2. Spybot S&D
3. Windows Defender
4. Spyware Blaster
5. AVG A/S free
6. A-squared free
...and some others I can't remember, all are free and all remove different things, so run them all. has most of them. Oh, and switch from IE to Firefox, or you'll be facing the exact same problem. I made Firefox the default browser at our office and eliminated the spyware plague.
