Ok, here's the latest:
After struggling to find some utility that would actually work, I finally came across the suggestion to run sfc /scannow - which I did. This informed me that a corrupted file was repaired (I cannot find the log yet to see the exact file it referred to).
I was able to boot into normal mode and was able to run programs and I saw that Avast! started and was in system tray.
I ran malwarebytes - no problems found.
I went to run Avast! and I saw that a scan from yesterday put C:\Windows|SysWOW64\kernel32.dll|>[Emul] in its Chest because of Win32:Cycbot-KI[Trj].
I have now deleted the dll from Avast! Chest.
I think all is good.
