Startup repair offline?

All over the world.

If restore fails again, try repairing System files next.

It did fail, I am now going to run an sfc scan from the cd

You may need to run it repeatedly. See if you can get into Safe Mode then. I would also disinfect with the first few steps even though you think you know what caused this. You may have already been infected.

Please use the best tools linked in tutorial. Norton is not recommended here by anyone. It is considered bloatware. Use WDO from disk, or Malwarebytes as soon as you boot into Win7 or Safe Mode.

If it works and I can get to safe mode I will run more scans with mbam and mse but under current constraints this is what I have got.

Norton found no infections.

What kind of Recovery is this you found on your HD? Was it created by Norton or a Factory Recovery partition which came with preinstalled Windows 7?

It's a norton startup disc I had layin around

NEW* I slapped in the norton cd, booted from hd and its got a built in recovery... I am retarded

I am gonna let it run the scan and I will update the results in the morning. cant believe I forgot about my Norton CD... >.<

Is there an image stored somewhere that you can reapply with the booted disk? How else would you recover using Norton?
