When you click on anything, your computer freezes? Are there any error codes, anything happen after you click.
Try booting Windows into safe mode.

Follow the instructions there and see if booting into safe mode solved your problem.

I turned on my computer in safe mode and ran a virus scan but no viruses were found. I do have a trojan.zlob.g which is quarantined. Do you think that is the problem? Also, do you think it might be a good idea to do a system restore to the date before all the problems started?

Yes, try to restore the system back to a previous state. Boot into safe mode, and go Start -> Run -> msconfig
Then click on "Launch System Restore" located in the "General" tab.

After I system restore my computer restarts and then a window pops up with the title "system restore". At this point it freezes and the window does not load.

Can you boot into Safe Mode?
Avoid using System Restore on infected computer.
