Computer did start, however just as it came out the box.
It seems to ave deleted half the memory
to check if you have restore point do this:
Start - All programs - Accessories - System tools - System restore - Restore my computer to an earlier time - *than select the restore point from calendar with oldest date. PC will restore to state from that date which will require automatic restart (just let PC do its job and wait a little longer for it to restarts).
Using any antivirus and firewall? Try this antivirus, it is free and simple

After it installs, allow it to update new virus definitons and than let him scan whole PC and kill the viruses.
But that doesn't mean that you can go on without firewall, get Zonealarm firewall.
