Manufacturers Recovery Disks do not normally have Repair Options; they are normally a reinstall to Factory Settings option only. If you do not have or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a Vista Startup Repair ISO file available which you can make into a Bootable disk to do the above Startup Repair and that method is recommended by a lot of posters in these Forums.
You can tap F8 at Boot and hopefully get into Safe Mode with Networking where you can download and update the removal programs and scan with them.
If you never received a Recovery Disk when you purchased your Computer there should be a Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive to reinstall Windows back to how you bought your Computer.
The Recovery process can be started by pressing a particular Key or Keys combination at Boot. And if you do have a Manufacturer's Recovery Partition on your Hard Drive, you should be able to make your own Recovery Disks from it to reinstall the Operating System, if it isecoved to factory settings by the method above.
If you can not find any reference to it, contact the Manufacturer for advice on how to make those Recovery Disks. And you need to know the "bit" version for Vista, as 32bit and 64bit Editions come on different DVDs. And once the Operating System is installed, go to your Computer Manufacturer's website and obtain the latest Drivers for your particular Model Computer or Laptop.
