Hi delete the current copy of Avast from the desktop
Download from this direct link a new copy http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe

Not a great deal showing

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following


Code: [Select]
:OTL
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {DBC80044-A445-435b-BC74-9C25C1C588A9} - No CLSID value found.
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDAD4DA1-61A2-4FD8-9C17-86F7AC245081} - No CLSID value found.
O3 - HKLM\..\Toolbar: (no name) - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - No CLSID value found.
O3 - HKLM\..\Toolbar: (no name) - Locked - No CLSID value found.
O3 - HKU\S-1-5-21-1078081533-1450960922-1801674531-1003\..\Toolbar\WebBrowser: (no name) - {2318C2B1-4965-11D4-9B18-009027A5CD4F} - No CLSID value found.

:Commands
[resethosts]
[emptytemp]
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
[Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.

Nice! 

I notice in your image of the OLT scanner, that you have two of the selections marked differently than mine is......should I match yours?

The selections:

1)  Standard Registry:  "All" instead of "Use Safe List".

2) Extra Registry:  "Use Safe List" instead of "None".

O, do I have exciting news for you!

Here is what happened:

!) I copied and pasted as instructed, and hit 'run fix' and then

2) Simultaneously (almost?) a note came from my re-installed MSE saying '....YO.....you got us turned oof....'  (I swear I thought I had restarted that thing!)  THEN:

3) I thought perhaps this is some malware trick and also worrying it would mess  with OLT, I canceled it almost immediately, and also noticed that OLT had locked up!  SOO.......

4) I disconnected my linksys, and borrowed another laptop to contact you by direct link to the router. 


Viola!!

CORRECTION:

I notice that the WHOLE computor had locked up.  I didn't turn it off, but left it as is, with the OLT locked up too....

OTL will stop all running processes whilst it is running and that includes MSE could you try the fix again and allow MSE to shutdown.  It will restart on reboot
