Cause: Trojan or Virus. Unsure. Most likely contracted from an infected webpage/website.

I've never experienced anything like this before. There was no BSOD but this is so severe, I had to turn to the power off and am too scared to switch on computer.

Effect:
1. web browser ([b]IE[/b], version ?) couldn't function, except load homepage (which I have always set to Google). Error message:
[b]Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime error
C:\program files\internet explorer\IEXPLORER.exe
R6025
-pure virtual function call[/b]

2.I [b]tried to open Ewido[/b]. Error message:
[b]Not enough quota is available to process this command.[/b]

3.Tried to open HijackThis but [b]could not access hard-drive[/b].Error message:
[b]Not enough quota is available to process this command.[/b]

4.Tried again to [b]open Ewido via shortcut[/b]. Error message:
[b]This no longer exists.[/b] It might have been renamed, moved or deleted. Would you like to remove from list? (I pressed No)

5.Tried again to [b]open Ewido[/b]. Error message:
[b]Application failed to initialize properly (0xc000012d). [/b] Click to terminate application.

6.Tried to [b]open Ewido[/b] again. Error message:
[b]SecuritySuite.exe -Bad Image
The application or DLL C:\windows\system32\PSAPI.DLL is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.[/b]

7.[b]Opened Spybot[/b], forced to download updates before scanning. Then [b]couldn't find anything [/b] after scanning for only few seconds (unusual- scans always take over 5mins). Error message:
[b]C:\windows\system32\SHDOCVW.DLL is not a windows image. Check this against your diskette.[/b]

8.Pressed scan button in [b]Spybot[/b] to scan again but no response. Then when I tried to close it, Spybot started scanning [b](delayed response?). [/b] I kept [b]trying to close Spybot[/b] because I thought it wouldn't work anyway. Then I [b]tried to shut down computer but no response so I turned the power off[/b]. Computer is still off.

Thank you very much for reading this post. I'm sorry it was long, but since I don't know alot I put all the information I had. Help would be deeply appreciated.

Have you tried booting to safe mode? While starting the computer,continually tap the F8 key and choose safe mode
Then when in safe mode run your Anti-Virus Spyware scanners
Post back if you need more help
