I have attached my Hijackthis log if it helps
When I try to run the scan, it says 0 files have been scanned and stays there indefinitely… Sometimes if I try to run the quick scan it says “another scan is already running.”

Alissimore:
Please run a SysProt log for us so we can check your system for rootkit activity. You will need to disable Norton auto-protect while you run the scan.
Once it is downloaded to your desktop, right click on the SysProt icon, go to properties, and click unblock and apply.
Choose log, check all the boxes except show hidden objects only and scan.
You will be able to post the log here using the "add attachments" link just below the orange post button.

here it is
Well, Alissimore:
You have two rootkit infections on your system, which is why things are not working. I will advise Quads, who is our guru responsible for these repairs. Do not try to remove them yourself as it can be dangerous to your system.

Here is a screenshot (script updated since shot)
Make sure the "Automatically disable any rootkits found" is NOT selected
4. Click "Execute"
You will be asked to restart the PC click "Yes", when the PC restarts the load screen will takes slightly longer, then when it looks as though windows is loading the PC will restart again.
Then when Windows fully loads the Avenger log will be loaded, showing files it could or could not find.
5. Restart the PC again, then see if you can install Update and run Malwarebytes http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/

Thanks quads. I ran the Avenger script. The log is attached.
The malwarebytes update worked, and it is currently scanning. It's already found 2 infected objects... What should I do?
This is the result from the malwarebytes scan
Hi
Have Malwarebytes Remove all of those and then click the "update" tab in Malwarebytes to check for any updates, Then do another full scan to see if any are still there and Malwarebytes can't remove after all.
Mainly the Vundo and Resycled entries
