Laptop in Safe Mode ! ! !

Hi,
My daughter has a Packard Bell Laptop running XP Pro SP2.
The problem was the Laptop had a ‘Temp2.exe’ virus on it.
When I tried to go in to MSCONFIG the Laptop would shut down on me.
So it seems the Virus was protecting its self

I did manage to removed with PRT utilities file

I went in MSCOFIG which did not shut down on me this time and I un ticked all the applications she had on start up, i.e. iTunes, slysoft, Google Tool bar etc .

Any way in BOOT.INI tab of MSCONFIG I ticked the boot in safe mode to check that the Virus was gone completely in the directories.

Now the Laptop keeps booting up in safe mode and I can not get in MSCONFIG. Every time I go to, RUN, MSCONFIG the window appears for about half second then performs a restart !

Any ideas please !
