Take the drive out and install it in another computer and scan it with your favorite programs. Malwarebytes, Security Essentials, Etc...

Should do the trick.
 
google "fbi moneypack virus removal" there are MANY MANY tutorials on how to remove it.

all of which can be done within safe mode.
 
Someone down at the repair shop crashed it by typing too many numbers into the moneypak box.
