99.9% certain that was malware you clicked on - its a very common scam :-(
Infections which won't let you boot at all , or a completely trashed Registry - can't
tell which, are beyond me - I'd go to specialists in this field: one of my favourites
is here
Hope you've got your data backed up - if not you may be able to mount the HDD on
another PC and copy it off, indeed you might just be able to clean it up the same
way - MalwareBytes is good place to start.
