My computer will not let me restore it comes up with an error saying the file rstrui.exe is infected. When I try to add or remove a program says file rundl32.exe is infected. It also this Total Security program keeps popping up with errors, and I have never downloaded that program.

Hello , to remove Total Security Center you need Malwarebyte's Antimalware ,
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Save but don't run just yet , get into task manager and end tsc or tsc.exe , just click on it and end process
Now run MBAM , update and run the quick scan , clean all it finds , close MBAM and shut down your computer for at lest five minutes .
Then you should be able to use system restore , however this may put malware back on with XP , To be safe shut down system restore and restart it .good luck

I would say you probably have a rootkit. Try unhackme, it is really user friendly and see if the rootkit is there and it will help you remove it:

It wont let me get to my task manger it will flash in front of the screen real quick.XPUser4Real
When I try to get to the website it gives me an Error 404- File not found, but when I try it on my laptop I am able to get on to the website.Any other ideas? I am willing to try anything at this point. Thank you guys for all your help!

Try Process Explorer instead of task manager , just put a short cut in the quick start , In fact I use process explorer in preference to task man.
Sysinternals is part of MS now

dreling, you may have to download unhackme to a thumb drive or burn it to a cd and then use it on the problem PC.

Total Security protects its files from being deleted, so access to
control panel items, task manager, regedit.exe, hijackthis.exe
and anti-spyware applications such as Malwarebytes
antimalware or Spyware Doctor is forbiden.
How to unblock .exe files see here: Total Security fix::
