How can I get rid of a virus that has taken over my computer?

Question

My AVG won't update because of the virus so I can't remove it with that. I can't go to any site to download any spyware or virus scans. I somehow no longer have administrative control over the computer. When I click on the start menu I don't have access to control panel or My Computer or anything really! Any suggestions on what I can do to get control back of my computer and get rid of this nasty virus? Down in the right hand corner next to my clock it says VIRUS ALERT! I have a Window Genuine Advante icon on my toolbar that wasn't there before. My homepage is hijacked by Ultimatecleaner 2007. I'm at a loss. I can't run scans in safemode because i can't get to my programs. I can't do anything! Please someone HELP!!

Answer 1

when the computer boots press f12 or one of the boot keys(its different for every computer) it should do system recovery and it will be all better.
