Can't log on...

Bit of a problem here...

Have a Dell machine running Windows XP Home. When I reach the logon screen and enter a password, it briefly displays the logging on screen - says 'loading personal settings - then immediately precedes to log the user out. This happens with all the user accounts.

I think the last program to be run was Spybot search and destroy.

Any ideas how I can bypass this screen and get in to try and solve the problem?

Are you able to boot into safemode? If so, run a virus scan while you're there.
