I'm actually at my college library because I can't get my personal one to boot up. It gets to the screen that says "Windows is starting up," and never gets past that, which would normally be my password screen. Any suggestions? Also, I'm afraid it might have been malware related. Thanks for any help.

Try starting it in safe mode, if you can, run your virus and malware scans from there, thats' the most effective way to run them anyway.
