If u cannot get to your email,your PC keeps scanning for a virus,how do u fix it without being able to go on the net? Just wipe the drive & reinstall OS?
 
Boot into safe mode, disable your virus scanner from starting automatically.

You should be able to check your e-mail.

Also, if you know the name of the virus, I would go on the net and download a fix for it. Most viruses have a dos-based fix for them that will remove it from your system.

Try Google and do a search for the virus name with keywork "fix"
