Could be a virus, especially if you obtained this from an unreliable source (we have all done it)!
I'd first of all download this little programme, free to home users and very very good.

http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en

Install to a USB pen drive or similar, boot the laptop in safe mode and run it. Once run and any virii found are deleted, run again setting the scan path to C:/.

Check and kill any virii found

Now delete your sytsem restore points ( the viruses if found will be backed up there).

Reboot and you should get into normal boot

If the above fails to fix this, (ie no virii found) the programme you installed has damaged your settings. In which case, first of all, go to MY Computer / Right click on hard drive/ properties / tools and run a disc check on reboot

Reboot and try again

If that fails, you will need to install the OS and do a repair

If THAT fails, you will need to do a full install

Uninstall Avast Antivirus, download ComboFix from here and run in in Safe Mode.
It should work just fine.
After all is OK, just install one antivirus, I recommend Avira.

press delete during boot up process enter BIOS then f1 for general help then run chkdsk/r/f which will scan for and repair any bad sectors on your hard drive automatically fix any corrupt files on your hard drive or you can boot it into safe mode or safe mode with optimised defaults press f10 to save to cmos and reboot once your computer has restarted and corrected itself uninstall some unecessary programs then defragment your hard drive
hope this helps good luck

These are the steps that you need to take, and the instructions on how to do it:
1. Reboot into Safemode
2. Run a virus and spyware scanner
3. Defrag
4. Scandisk
5. Registry error repairing
6.Reboot into regular mode windows

Here is how to do it:
Reboot yor machine while holding the F8 key right as it boots back up. A menu will apear. Choose -->"start windows in safe mode with networking".
Windows will start in safe mode. Run an AVG virus scan, then run Defrag by exploring your computer, right click on C: drive, click PROPERTIES, then the TOOLS tab, click the "check now" button, and only checkmark the top box 'fix file system errors', then click ok, the computer will then tell you it will scan upon next reboot., Now click the DEFRAG NOW button. the choose defrag. After Defrag runs for about an hour and it is finished, restart the system. If is still won't run normally, go back into Safemode buy pressing F8 on reboot, then run a registry fixing program such as uniblue registrybooster, then reboot again. If it still won't run right, you may want to reinstall Windows and see if that works. If reinstalling windows doesn't fix it, it is most likely a hardware problem.
PRINT THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND KEEP A COPY NEAR YOUR SYSTEM FOR FUTURE PROBLEMS. THIS SERIES OF STEPS CAN FIX MANY PROBLEMS
Good luck.

Will it start in SAFE mode? Reboot and press F8 before Windows loads. This will give a small menu about different SAFE modes and Normal mode. Select SAFE mode and allow system to start. If the system starts fine then you have corrupted drivers and/or a virus which is corrupting your drivers. Download AVGFREE.exe, MALWAREBYTES.exe and SUPERANTISPYWARE.exe and run these. Now goto START, Run and type SFC/scannow and have your original disks handy because any corrupted drivers will have to be replaced. Now try to reboot into NORMAL mode. If OK you're done. If not OK or even in SAFE mode all you see is the cursor then the laptop needs to go to a reputable repair person or check my website www.micromendllc.com
