can you get into windows in safe mode?  (hold down both control keys when booting 
the computer, or do the press the F8 key thing.)  if system restore is on, turn it 
off.  reboot.  if okay then you can re-enable it.  trojan files are held there after 
being cleaned.

also right click on the desktop and if active desktop is turned on with a check by 
show web content, then uncheck it.
