Getting there, it looks like MBAM will have to be uninstalled and then re-installed

Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST and press fix
On completion a log will be generated, please attach that

THEN

Uninstall MBAM via control panel
Then download and run this small programme http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-clean.exe
It will ask for a reboot
Now download and install a fresh copy of MBAM from here http://www.malwarebytes.org


How is the computer behaving now ?

[REDACTED]

Avast tells me the annoying SmartWebPrinting is a browser add on.  I had it removed so now I'll play around a bit to see if it's fixed. 

Here are logs for after removing that add on.  Don't know if it'll be different or not but:

Oops could you see my previous post as there are some more tasks for you )

I saw your reply and was working on it

After the first reboot, I got a few automatic messages about 2 programs not working.  Then avast through up an error about walls not being turned on. I tried to turn them on, but nothing happened. So I tried the Internet. Not working either. I uninstalled MBAM through the control panel. Tried the Internet again, no luck. So I rebooted. Now I'm stuck after the main log in screen and the desktop starting up. Just a black screen with my mouse cursor. I pressed the power button and it says shutting down and powers off. But rebooting goes back to the black screen after logging on. I'm on my phone now. What did I do wrong?

*It sits on the 'Welcome' screen for a min and a half, then fades to black like the desktop is going to appear next. But it doesn't. I can move the mouse cursor around. But it's not budging. No lights flashing or sounds from the CPU. I'm completely lost now. Maybe the SmartWebPrinting was essential?

No change. Still a long time on the Welcome screen. Straight to black and nothing.

[essexboy]

OK from the safe mode menu select

I have a Repair Your Computer option above Safe Mode. It's not in the picture you gave me but it's on my screen.

[essexboy]

Run system restore and use the restore point made by combofix

[REDACTED]

Says:

The System Restore wizard is already running. The program will now exit.

[REDACTED]

Ok. Now it shows up. The only restore point from today is from an avast system restore point from nearly 10:00 am my time (6 hours behind the forum's time). Basically starting over and redoing everything we've done today. All other restore points are from yesterday and days before.

Should I proceed with the restore point?

Do we need to stop and pick up tomorrow morning? I can redo everything you told me to do and post logs for you to find tomorrow.

[essexboy]

Run the system restore point that Avast created and hold there
Tomorrow we will run it differently after that point as there is something not quite right, the fix I supplied was just removing orphan entries that were not system or internet related.
