another problem i discovered was that when i tried to reboot windows in safe mode, i only had one option, and that was to start windows in normal mode after pressing F8 at start up

That's normal with this infection. We'll fix that. But first, current infections tend to patch a lot of critical system files now, these often result in multiple problems, and sometimes, they can cause unbootable machines. Having Window's Recovery Console installed on your machine will help you and I in case something goes wrong while we are in the process of cleaning your machine.:
