Can you do a system restore back to when it worked? Or, try sfc /scannow. You will need the XP CD. It should repair/replace any corrupted files.

All is not lost. Go to security.symantec.com and choose to perform an online virus scan. It will identify the virus for you and then you can download the manual removal tool.
