Picture has a red square around the Browse button.  Click that and a new window will open.  You'll have to navigate to where your file is and select that file by highlighting it with your mouse and then click "Open".

If you need to attach more pics logs, select "more attachments" and repeat the process over again.

Does that help?

So are you saying that because i had a certain anti malware programme installed on my system , which i had no idea was in anyway an issue to anybody and has now been uninstalled from my system as soon as it has become apparent that it was an issue,  nobody will now help me? I would appreciate it if you could let me know either way?

no i did not say that...
i gave you the info about IObit and what you want to do with it is up to you (you did what evryone have done after reading this)

IObit has probably nothing to do with your issue.... and help will arrive when the removal guys are home from work
they dont work for avast, they are volunteers and use there free time here helping, so they are not in the forum 24/7
so be patient....help will arrive

Hi, Many thanks for this :)
Here is the (Attached) OTL report after doing everything you suggested above.

As for taking a screen shot of the alert message this is difficult as it only pops up on the odd occasion like about once every few days. But i will try to grab it next time.. What happens mainly is when i try to open a page or enter a url i just occasionally get a random page of malware appear.. the only pattern with this is that it happens several times a day.
