Ok so now what?  Do I just delete all this aswmbr, farbar, etc stuff off my computer and just call it a day or is there something else I need to do to get this fixlist.txt to work.  You guys kinda left me hanging.  Can someone other than Eddy take a look?  I'm sure he's awesome, but more eyes looking at something is often more good.  On a good note, roughly 70GB of mystery data disappeared from my computer.  I have no idea why.  thanks for the help thus far.

Somehow the fixlist file has become corrupted.
This one should work.

Boo-ya!  That did the trick, Eddy.  Thank you SO MUCH.  So am I good to go or do I need to do something else.  I've read in other forum postings that some people were directed to use a program called Zoek.  Is that necessary for me?

I do not see any problem with your system.
No need to run anything else.

I suggest you keep avast, Mbam and McShield.

As for Farbar (FRST), it gets updated very often.
Feel free to keep the current version or delete it and get the latest version when you need/want to use it again.

Anything else I (or someone else) can try to help you with ?

Eddy, I don't think so.  I can move forward confident nothing is lurking on this comp.  Many thanks to you!
