Hello Delzac,
Seems that virus Win32.Virut.B is spreeding quite fast into a system when corrupted.
I would suggest first you save all importants files and folders to a USB key, then to format and reinstall your computer C partition, and before any internet access to buy a very performant anti-virus program as for example Kaspersky 6.0 program.
This will be a good start to avoid you to waist your time if your actual anti-virus is corrupted too... and remember, NEVER open a file or image from unknown senders ......
