Go to this site and download BootSafe:
http://www.superadblocker.com/bootsafe.html Freeware and simple. Install
it and use it to boot to safe mode. When booted in safe mode, just run the
programs David suggested as you would normally run any program.

NEVER download files from anywhere unless it is from the website of the
developer, manufacturer or some entity that you trust. Developer websites
ALWAYS have the most up to date files that haven't been tampered with by
some third party who is "hosting" (read Leeching or Stealing) those files
without permission. Never open email attachments from people you don't
know. It's called Safe Hex.
