I'd like to know how I can get rid of this, what I suspect is a virus:

Microtel Notebook computer running on Windows XP
Use resident Zone Alarm
continuously boots
different boot selections result in same rebooting cycle
blue screen of death appears for half a second during boot sequence

Also, how would I get a boot disc with a virus cleaner on it?Sounds like a hardware problem.
Did you change any hardware lately?
Are you able to boot in safemode?
From the Windows Start menu, go to Turn off computer and click Restart.
As the computer restarts, watch for a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. press F8 about once every second.
Immediately press F8 before the progress bar reaches the right side of the screen.
From the Windows Start-up menu, highlight Safe Mode and press Enter.
