Okay, done with that.

Anything else I need to run/check to make sure that it's all sorted?

It just remains for you to tell me of any outstanding problems before I remove my tools 

[Storyteller]

I -think- everything's fixed. I'm not seeing anymore alerts from Avast and the browser isn't redirecting any more. So I -think- it's cleared.

Subject to no further problems   

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

• Go to control panel
• Select folder options (Appearance > Folder options in category view)
• Select the View Tab.
• Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
  
• Click Yes to confirm.
• Click OK.

SPRING CLEAN

To manually create a new Restore Point
 

• Go to Control Panel and select System
  
• Select System
  
• On the left select System Protection and accept the warning if you get one
  
• Select System Protection Tab
  
• Select Create at the bottom
  
• Type in a name i.e. Clean
• Select Create
  

Now we can purge the infected ones

• GoStart > All programs > Accessories > system tools
  
• Right click Disc cleanup and select run as administrator
  
• Select Your main drive and accept the warning if you get one
  
• For a few moments the system will make some calculations
• Select the More Options tab
  
• In the System Restore and Shadow Backups select Clean up
  
• Select Delete on the pop up
  
• Select OK
• Select Delete

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes.  Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Microsoft Windows Update
