Can you type Start+R ("Start" is the key on your keyboard with the Windows logo on it)? If so, you should be able to type

rstrui

into the Run box and launch it that way. (Start+R is the same as, say, Ctrl+R, except with the Start key rather than the Ctrl key)

Thats a fairly good indication the computer is infected and the infection starts-up when windows starts-up.

Depending on your experience......you could possibly disable the infection from staring by un-checking it in the "start-up" folder Start > run> type: msconfig

However, that would not clean any infection you MAY have.....therefore...suggestion......install free AVAST anti virus.....after updating it......do a "boot scan"....(that is done before windows starts) and possibly this will locate the infection......IF you are actually infected.

Doing anything else at this point would most likely be a waste of your time. imo
