Default help! i've just been hacked

So I think I just got hacked! All of a sudden a window popped up and said something like "i am in control of your computer now " WTF .. I wasn't even using the computer when it happened.. and things kept disappearing and I wasn't the Administrator on the computer anymore.. I can't open anything.. Now I can't even boot up the computer! Can anybody help please??!

What do you mean, it won't boot up? As in, it freezes at post? Or what?

I had that happen to me once... why did you sit there and stare? the first thing I did was ripped out the phone line and shut down the PC.

By the time I walked in I guess it had already taken effect.. I unplugged the cable and turned it off.. Now when I turn it on, it just stays on a black screen
