I really don't know what to tell you about this laptop. It is not infected and trying to repair Windows could be pain in the ass sometimes. I think you should stop wasting your time and install Windows from scratch.

I would like to help you, but I feel everything here is just a waste of time. You can repair one error, but the other one will appear. Something isn't okay with this system and it is the best thing to install it from scratch.

Thanks for all of your help on this. The viruses wiped out several system files. I found out that I could run rkill and see what systems were broken. Eset has a software package that you can download that repairs your system files. I had to manually repair one system file and it all seems to be working. I haven't had any virus issues since then. I would imagine that the system files being out of order made me susceptible to new viruses. Thanks again for all your help. I don't know if you are making any money from this but if you are I will recommend your website and recommend donations.
