If you can't do anything, you sure can't run a scan. Initially, Kapersky was the
only AV that could remove Bube, but that may have changed. Can you boot into safe
mode? Startup programs don't load in Safe. Those illegal operation messages are related
to your startup applications, the way it looks.
I would try restoring a registry backup, first, since that's easiest, quickest thing
to try. That's assuming this happened in the last few days. Windows only creates
5 registry backups by default. Reboot and hold the CTRL key down, until you get the
boot menu.
Choose Command prompt only. At the C:\> type: scanreg /restore Press enter.
Choose a date prior to this problem. A good backup will have the word "Started" before
it. Then hit Enter. You should get a message that Windows successfully restored the
registry. Then CTRL_ALT_DEL and see if you get back into Windows. Let us know how
things go.
P.S. If that doesn't do it, you should be able to choose 'Safe mode with networking
support' (or similar) from the boot menu. Then go online to run a virus scan.
