0xc0000185 error code

I have a Dell Inspiron N5110 running Windows 7. For the past few days my internet has been going in and out to the point of being every few minutes. All other devices in the house are streaming along no problem and here I am with the internet going in and out. Yesterday I decided to download and run Malaware Bytes. I swore I had it installed already but couldn't find it. It ran a scan found 6 things and took care of them. Nothing appeared major to me but who knows? Now today I cannot get any exe file to load. Chrome keeps telling me that it can't run because my virus software is block it that I should delete and re-enable it's permissions. I try and try and cannot get Norton to open. I have Constant Guard with Norton from Comcast. I remember having this problem before so I run a diagnostic and Norton tells me to uninstall. I cannot get it to run the Power Eraser. I already had it installed so when the download didn't want to work I tried to run the version I already had an no go. I finally ran the uninstall tool and that did take it away. I tried to re-install and it let me download Constant Guard but it wouldn't let me download Norton. Again I went to my download folder to use a version I already had on there and it won't open and run at all. I tried to run Malaware Bytes again and it won't open at all.

My computer is running painfully slow. I tried doing a clean boot as per Microsoft Instructions and no change. I read the message on here about recent updates so I uninstalled all windows updates from 8/15 and 9/4, no change. Sometimes the internet will load and run and sometimes it won't. It's awful.

I keep getting this message when trying to open, download or install the virus programs: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000185). Click OK to close the application.
I also got an odd message that said updates were installed and I could run offline now?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
