In my opinion, it could be a virus.

Try to boot in safe mode and restore to a previous date.

I admire your patience, often in a woman seldom in a man. Had I been you, I would have screamed: "God give me patience, and you better hurry up!"

As a last resort, I would try a out of the box factory restore. You would lose all of your data but it's better than a computer that just sits there trying to repair.

Sorry but I don't remember. There are different ways depending on the type and model.

I suggest you see:
