Have you scanned your machine lately? It sounds like you have a nasty piece of malware on there now....
In additiona to your regular AV program I suggest downloading http://malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

I performed the SFC command and it did not find any integrity problems. Still the updates, sidebar, and personalize and the system information are not opening.

Try doing a system restore to the point where you didn't have the problem.
