Ok so I used Norton power eraser to check for what i thought was a virus that was hidden from my scans and press remove to get rid of them.
Though after the removal I can not boot up my computer. It goes up to the windows loading screen then it flashes a blue screen and restarts by itself every time.
I have tried the repair option for windows once you press the f8 key but that doesn't work and i can not even get safe mode to work.
Also when i try to restore to a earlier point i get the error code 0x8000ffff
If anyone can help me solve this problem plz respond or should i just take it to a computer store someone can recommend ( geek squad, pcw computer)

Lol Fola, I could'nt agree more, Norton sucks.
Also what's with all the kids today? They have an enormous "appetite for destruction", always messing with stuff they know nothing about... (no offense dude)
For the future: Ditch Norton and install: Avast Free antivirus, Zone Alarm Firewall, CCleaner and MalwareBytes, best system protection and 100% free.
For now, try This:
BSOD, the Blue Screen Of Death, the curse of all Windows users...
Very few BSOD are caused by an actual hardware problem or failure, in fact almost 99.9% of all Windows BSOD are due to system corruption caused by an infection with a virus, worm, trojan, exploit or other malware.
The problem with Windows users is that they are locked inside that nice and polished Microsoft box and refuse to see anything else outside of it.
Windows is the most susceptible to infections and attacks, being in fact the less safe operating system. No matter what you do, Windows will, sooner rather than later, be infected and/or corrupted.
You, or others, are gonna jump up and say: "But I do have proper system protection, antivirus and such!"
WRONG! New viruses and other malware will almost always find a way around that. As long as you continue to use Windows, YOU ARE NEVER 100% SAFE.
LINUX is the only 100% safe operating system, even Mac OS X can be corrupted, granted not as easy as Windows.
What most Windows computer users fail to understand is this:
Besides corrupting your Windows operating system files, the first thing a virus or other malware does, is to either disable or otherwise corrupt your antivirus or any other system protection software program. That is why most of the times you cannot safely, effectively and completely detect and remove a virus infection in a Windows environment. Sometimes the infection is so bad that even your bootsector and master boot record (MBR) gets corrupted, and the computer won't even boot up into Windows anymore.
Most people panick, and either pay a lot of money to some idiot at the Best Buy Geek Squad to remove the infection and repair their Windows system, or they just wipe off everything (losing important personal data), and re-install Windows or do a factory restore.
WRONG AGAIN: You should always try this first:
For a proper scan and removal of any virus, worm, trojan and any other malware, the best way is to use a System Rescue CD, like BitDefender or Kaspersky. Those are both bootable CDs, that run scans in a safe Linux environment, not corrupted by anything.
Go to a different, healthy, non-infected PC or laptop and download both the BitDefender and the Kaspersky Anti-virus Recovery CDs (free downloads).
Download links for both:
http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk
Burn both downloaded iso files to CD with an iso burner software. If you do not have an iso burning software installed, I recommend getting the CDBurnerXP (free software) from here:
http://cdburnerxp.se/
Or just use this little utility to write the .ISO to a CD:
http://www.hiren.info/download/freeware-tools/BurnCDCC.zip
Just download, unzip and run the BURNCDCC.EXE, no installation is necessary.
Once you burned the recovery CDs, return to the infected computer and put the BitDefender Anti-virus Recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive and boot from CD (set your boot up options in BIOS to CD boot as first option if it does not boot from CD at first)
After your infected computer boots into the Recovery CD Linux environment, first update the virus definition database from the Internet server, than perform a complete scan of your desktop computer or laptop (all hard drives and/or partitions). Remove (delete) any infections found, and shut down your desktop computer or laptop.
Remove the BitDefender Anti-virus Recovery CD and insert the Kaspersky Anti-virus Recovery CD.
Repeat the same procedure as for BitDefender above.
After scanning with those 2 Anti-virus Recovery CDs, your system should be virus free, and will function properly again.
You might also need to do a master boot record (MBR) repair on your system, if your MBR also got corrupted.
Download the Windows 7 or Vista System Recovery Discs (according to what you got), $9.75 here:
http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
Burn the ISO to a CD, boot from it and repair your MBR.
Or, with a little computer knowledge, you can create your own System Recovery Disc from an existing installation of Windows, read here:

Good luck.
