Searchindexer.exe and explorer.exe errors

Question

A few days ago I uninstalled Norton with Revo Uninstaller and installed malwarebytes pro. I restarted my computer only to find that approximately every 3 seconds, explorer.exe crashed and restarted. This went on for about 3 days. The event viewer showed
the "The Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 7864 time(s)" message that I've seen in other threads.

  Here's what I've done so far.
ran malwarebytes full system scan - found a few problems but after fixing them the main issues persisted.
ran sfc/ scannow (7-8 times... found issues at first but now returns the message "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.")
Set 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\SetupCompletedSuccessfully' from 1 to 0
left computer on overnight (windows explorer still crashing every few seconds)
hard reset by removing the battery. Now windows explorer won't load at all. (no desktop, no modern UI or Taskbar)
attempted to rebuild the index, which didn't work.
Here's the what the event viewer shows

I can't run Microsoft's fix it because explorer.exe won't load, so trying to save any installer results in Firefox crashing.
Not really sure what do do at this point.
Edit: did a system restore. returned with an error saying system restore error failed while deleting c:\$MFT\
An unspecified error occurred during system resotre (0x8007007b)

I have a very similar problem involving this module. It has errors and eventually the system reboots with a Kernal error 41 which I believe is from this application, the error code is
