Its quite possible your machines infected

might be time to try downloading, updating and running a full Malwarebytes scan, to see if there's anything on there which may be preventing it..and then a HiJack This run and post both logs....

but before you do this, go to my computer, HDD and right-click, properties, disk cleanup, let it search and then click the more options tab, select to clean up the old system restore points, and ok through and let it clean them all out....in case there's any nasties hiding in old restore points...

I had this problem when my pc was infected: The malware basically removed the option for system restore.

As mentioned, a full malware sweep using several programs may be necessary, this worked on mine.
