Don't Copy From This Blog...

If you've got a warning from a program called Antivirus XP Hard Disk Repair v9, saying that your computer was infected with Trojan.Agent.ARVP then I'm afraid your PC has contracted a new variant of Trojan.MBRlock ransomaware.

So, as you can tell this is not a regular "hijack the Desktop" type of infection where you can get around by opening Task Manager in some sneaky way. You cannot boot into Windows from this.
