This is probably due to a virus

Im sure someone in my family downloaded something stupid since I left for work and came back and some of the settings were changed and AIM had been upgraded. The computer froze up and I was forced to reboot shortly after I logged on.

Now when I attempt to use my computer all my programs start loading and I get a message saying that services.exe has an error or has crashed and windows needs to restart. This comes up every time. Is services.exe a necessary file? Can I just delete it in safe mode? If this is a known virus or bug or just something random how do I fix it?
