alansas, what happens after you are "logged off"? are you looking at the screen where you sign in again? or does the computer shut down? are there any error messages?
one thing that you could try would be to boot into "safe mode", and then run a scan with your antivirus program while in safe mode..
to get into safe mode, press "F8" as the computer is booting up, then select to start in safe mode.. it might ask you to login with an adminstrator password.. if you don't know what the administrator password is, try leaving it BLANK and login without entering any password..

When I get to C:\WINDOWS I then get a message - which windows installation would you like to log onto (To cancel, press ENTER)? It then won't let me type anything in except one character. Even the manual doesn't give this question.
I seem to be getting somewhere now, had to retype something slightly different but I will get back to you with the results. Many thanks for all your help everyone.

Select the first “R” you come to to enter the Recovery Console
You should be in C:\windows
Now follow from here:
type
cd system32
(If that does not work, try CHDIR SYSTEM32)
ENTER
the directory should now be
C:\windows\system32
type EXACTLY
copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe
ENTER
1 file should be copied,
now REBOOT
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Exit Regedit.
Look if you have “wsaupdater.exe” here
C:\Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe
