Hello Wintered!
I'm sorry to bring you the bad news!
Despite you efforts after running DrWeb CureIt, the situation is like this.

You are infected with a polymorphic file infector. This infection can and will infect all the machine's executable files .exe, .scr, .rar, .zip, .htm, .html. Because there are a number of bugs in its code, it may create executable files that are corrupted beyond repair resulting in an inoperative machine.

Malware experts say that a Complete Reformat and Reinstall is the only way to clean the infection. This includes All Drives that contain .exe, .scr, .rar, .zip, .htm, .html files.

• Backup all your documents and important items only.
• DO NOT backup any executable files (,exe .scr .html or .htm)
• Do Not back up compressed files (zip/cab/rar) files that may contain .exe or .scr files
• Reformat and Reinstall as outlined HERE

What brand is the computer?
Note the three brands listed in the beginning of that guide. Is it one of those.

Contact the store you bought it from or the manufacturer of the laptop.
You should have been provided with some sort of recovery possibility when you bought it.

Hope that helps.
