thank you very much! I am happy with avast and if I(we) can solve this i would like to install avast again.. but is there any other reliable antivirus program I can use till I get this done! I need my computer every single day..

If I install an other program temporarily does it get more mixed up?

Thnx

Hi:  If you can, "please wait until our Malware expert can review".
If you do have a malware/virus issue then further installations could/would also be affected.
It should not be long

Could you confirm that you are unable to get into safe mode

Download OTL  to your Desktop
Secondary link
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.


  • Select All Users
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
netsvcs
BASESERVICES
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
services.*
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
winsock.*
/md5stop
CREATERESTOREPOINT


  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Post  both logs
THEN

Download aswMBR.exe ( 4.5mb ) to your desktop.
 Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it  Click the "Scan" button to start scan 




On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

OK lets now run a stronger tool

Download and Install Combofix
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks




  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
  • Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.[/b]
Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.

3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.


Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

I am saying that It's alright! you made a self protection mode to disable harmful programs to delete avast but now even you can't delete it and plus, I am tired of downloading tons of programs you offer me to download and try to clean avast.. Too much going on. It shouldn't be that difficult!

I have downloaded another antivirus program and by the time I am trying to get rid of avast without downloading any other program.

I appreciate your help! But i ain't no more time to waste trying to delete a program.
