Google hijacked
So I recently got the google hijack malware. Basically anytime I went to google or most common sites I get a message saying the site may contain maleware and is dangerous blah blah blah.
But then I realized another problem some of my windows services won't start like bits service. Basically microsoft security essentials, Microsoft firewall, and Microsoft updater all give me errors and won't run.
Now I reinstalled security essentials and it works now as far as I can tell, and I ran malewarebytes and removed the google hijack as far as I know. But the services are still missing as well as things like desktop icons keep rearranging and won't stay in place as well as folders won't stay in the preferred method of viewing ie. Group by type and sort by date modified (resets to sort by name and detail view).
I've also run a repair and restore point from a windows ISO on a USB from boot to avail.
I'm running windows 7 64bit pro sp1.
I would format but I've lost my key and can't recover it.
Thanks for any help
Edit: I also get a error code 0x80070424 when trying to start up windows firewall
