Big Time Help Needed!

The worst thing is that they do wack your regestry, If you had many of them , you might consider a fresh OS install... Problems can pop up later from the corruption..

Ed,
If you're still up for trying solutions, try installing this in safe mode http://www.malwarebytes.org/ this is what I used when I had the same problem. It has to be in safe mode to prevent the bogus anti-virus from running.

falcon409 : I also used this same one Roger did and it worked . I had this exact virus luckily on an older PC and I know how frustrating it is when you can't even run an exe file . Maybe as luck has it the idiot who authored this virus will get his day in court but as we all know that is a slim possibility . Anyway I'm glad everything turned out for you and your up and running again .

As mentioned earlier, the problem has been solved and as is always the case, SOH came to the rescue in a big way. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and encouragement during this little "glitch" in an otherwise normal day for me. Phew. . .that was close. . .but we got it done. Thanks all!!
