I am surprised the computer actually runs

Due to the size of the fix I am having to attach it

After the first reboot let me know if Avast runs

CAUTION :  This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer
Right click the attached fixlist.txt and select save as..
Save to the desktop
 Ensure that FRST is also on the desktop

Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that

THEN

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your desktop.
  • Close all open programs and internet browsers.
  • Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
  • Click on Scan.
  • After the scan is complete click on "Clean"
  • Confirm each time with Ok.
  • Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.
  • Please post the content of that logfile with your next answer.
  • You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[S0].txt as well.
FINALLY

I will need a fresh FRST scan including the additions

I did everything as above, but avast still doesn't open. Perhaps just following your steps helped my computer a lot, however.

Attached is the log adwcleaner produced.

The main culprit is running from the quarantine at the moment and masquerading as fifa 64

If this fails to kill I will move on to a heavier programme

Re-install Chrome

Unless you did this yourself, malware has changed your Chrome version into the Development Build. Among other things this allows malware to install any extension it wants. We need to resolve this.

1. If you have bookmarks, let's save them by exporting them - Export Bookmarks
2. Then I need you to go Google Sync and sign into your account
3. Scroll down until you see the "Stop and Clear" button and click on the button. At the prompt click on "Ok"
4. Now we need to uninstall chrome.
 Note: When asked about user data or settings you must remove this also so please check the box.
5. Restart the computer and reinstall chrome, You can download The latest version from here - Google Chrome
6. Import your bookmarks back into Chrome
7. Sign back in to your Chrome browser so that your bookmarks sync with your online account.

THEN

Before I do your next steps, I really don't care to keep chrome at all, and I don't believe I have a google sync account. I would remove it, but uninstalling whatever is left of it, I get this error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I'm not trying to install it, but uninstall it.
