Got a virus because I'm retarded

Welp.....
Long story short, I got stuck with a virus on windows 7 that goes by the name of Total Win 7 Security. How I got this virus is stupidly embarrassing and has nothing to do with porn what so ever, let's leave it at that. Now, while the link provided does provide instructions on how to remove this piece of shit I'm still in a bit of a quandary. I'm unable to start windows at all, let alone in safe mode. Every time I boot to windows all I get is a flashing rectangle in the up left hand corner and am unable to do anything.
My one saving grace is that my hard drive is partitioned into 2 section, one running windows 7 ultimate (which I lack a key for) and the other running mac OS X. The windows section of the hard drive is treated as it's own drive and I should be able to manipulate the files while running OS X.
I would deeply love anyone who would help me out with this, or at least point me in the right direction. If it's all for naught, I'll just do a complete reinstall and try to save whatever files I can.
