Ok.  I used the restore point I said I would use.  I'm back up now.  Looks like I won't have to completely redo everything I've done today.  Here's what I have at this moment log wise:

MBAM is still here so I'll go back and remove and reinstall as you said.  I'll reply with results and then leave my computer alone until I hear from you again.

Thank you again for your help!!  You've been great to work with!

OK once MBAM is re-installed run a fresh FRST scan and I will pick that up after my breakfast tomorrow :)

Hello, I have the same or very similar issue. Not sure if it was the entire system32 but parts of it (one I remember was called mpr.dll). Naively let it quarantine and am now my computer is in startup repair vainly attempting system restores and such to no avail. Help would be appreciated, thanks!

Well that's no good.  Those are the logs after running MBAM, but I won't run it again.  I wouldn't have suspected that, I thought deleting the SmartWebPrinting or the avast! reinstall was what screwed me up.  I need to find a way to fully get rid of the SWP.  I'll reinstall avast and send you a fresh FRST.  Computer seems a bit slower than yesterday but at least it's running!!

My Windows is showing 3 virusus this morning though.

Exploit:Win32/APSB08-11.gen!A
Trojan:Win32/Bamital!dat
Exploit:Win32/Pdfjsc.RF

They were cleaned or removed by the system.

FRST scan coming right up!

Fresh logs:

First two are after removing those 3 viruses.  Last one is after a reboot.  I don't know if it makes a difference, but just in case.  I like to be thorough.

Evidently the bad update was released about the time you reinstalled MBAM three hours later or one hour earlier and there would have been no problem.  I think that comes under sods law
The restore brought back the broken version of MBAM so that can now be uninstalled using Control panel and the MBAM clean file http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-clean.exe whether you want to re-install it is your choice

This run will clear the smartweb printing problem and clear your temporary files using FRST

The viruses reported were again probably returned via system restore... But, we can sort that :)

Once the system is clean you will need to uninstall all of your old Java's...  But, there is a nifty programme for that 

Anyhoo onwards and upwards

CAUTION :  This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Alrighty, all done.  Here are the logs:

Still running well.  SWP is still on here though.  I get the feeling this is a deeply rooted program that's not going to be easy to be rid of.

It is part of the "HP this is a programme you must have thing"

Looking around about it you are not the only one annoyed.  I have a few more things to check before I can give a definitive answer

Download Javara from here http://singularlabs.com/software/javara/javara-download/ to your desktop
Using control panel uninstall all instances of Java
Run the Javara programme
Select remove Java JRE this will uninstall all elements from the system
If you need Java then install the latest version from here https://java.com/en/download/index.jsp


Back soon :)

On it!

It probably wouldn't be so bad but every program I try to open, even my Control Panel, SWP needs to configure it but can't so I get the series of error messages I listed in my first post.  No worries!  Take your time!
