Computer will only start in safe mode after running MB

[qw3ty3]

Its a windows 7 laptop, it was full of viruses, the internet was almost unusable, but otherwise worked. I ran MBAM, it found a ton of stuff, said it had to restart. the computer seemed to lock up. I turned it off then back on.

It just goes to a black screen with a white cursor. I can move the mouse around but thats it. ctrl alt delete doesnt do anything. Safe mode still works. I booted into recovery tried startup repair, it said it couldnt fix it.

Any ideas? It seems like it should be fixable since safe mode still works. I really don't want to reinstall windows.

Hello and welcome, qw3ty3:

Yes, some of today's rootkits can cause very severe damage to the computer and its OS.

Since this is malware-related, and since we don't work on malware problems or severe system failures in this particular sub-section of the forum, the best bet is to get expert help from a qualified malware helper first.

Please read the suggestions provided below for the options on how to proceed.

ALSO, do you have your OEM Windows 7 DVD and/or a repair disk on-hand?

IMPORTANT: Please do NOT use any temporary file cleaners unless instructed to do so - they can cause data loss, making recovery difficult. In the interim, please don't try any "fixes" on your own, as it could cause further damage and make it hard to recover.
