There's no easy fix for most malware infections nowadays. There's no such thing as 
a downloader trojan remover. Those are one of the toughest things to get rid of. 
The reason is,they do exactly as the name implies. They download/install more malware 
each time you connect to the net. 

If you can't get into Safe or normal mode, how do you expect to run a removal program 
of any kind? In Windows ME, you can get to the command prompt using a ME startup 
(boot) disk. If you don't have one, you can create one on another system. If you 
don't have access to another ME machine, a 98 startup disk will work fine for this. 

To create a disk: Get a blank floppy diskette, go into Add/Remove programs. Click 
Startup Disk tab, then stick the floppy disk in drive and choose Create disk. Then 
boot with the startup disk in the floppy drive. At the A:\> prompt, type: C: scanreg 
/restore then press Enter. Choose a backup with the word Started, dated before 
this happened.

You should get a message that Windows successfully restored the registry. Then CTRL_ALT_DEL 
and see if you can get back into Windows. 

P.S you may need to consider formatting and reinstalling Win ME, if that doesn't 
work.
