The bad news is that your computer is infected with at least one virus. The good news is that you can fix it. All of your fixing, though, requires that your computer completely boots so that you can get on to it and do things.

Does it stop booting when you turn it on, or does it finish booting but just gives you all these weird errors?

The best thing is to backup files and format. Although I have heard you can fix virus's in my expierence once you get a virus/spyware its there for life at least until you format.

Get an External HDD firewire and back it up. Harddrives are cheap now, no sense in not doing it.
