Now when my system is connected to the internet the only page that
will display is a mock FBI page attempting to extort money from me via
"Moneypack". And I'm unable to get to my desktop, right click, or even
use my keyboard keys outside of numbers and letters.

I have AVG for all the good that did, and would appreciate advice on
how to correct my problem.

Can someone recommend a free anti-Malware app I can download onto my
flash drive at the library and install on my home pc?

I'm not sure I can do this, but just in case does anyone have the step-
by-step instructions for system restore? (I have WIndows XP).

Thanks.

I found specific instructions for removing W32/Reveton here.
The first step, is to disable the part that takes control.
Apparently a soft link in the Startup folder.
Then, regular AV software can be used to clean up afterwards.
