Ok, I got the txt file ready, and I tried to load in safe mode but nothing happened...I'm probably doing it wrong, and I apologize for my lack of knowledge. I thought it was just hitting F8, but it just booted normally.

I have an IBM Thinkpad Lenovo T60. Is there a different way to get into safe mode?
Are you hitting the F8 key repeatedly ??? Hitting it just once or holding it down doesn't work.
This may also help you to get to safe mode if F8 fails:

So I just need to be more aggressive in my demands? XD I'll give it a go! I had only hit it once.

OK, I got into safe mode and ran the Fix option in FRST, but it gave me a pop up after a few moments of running and said it had encountered an error and had to stop. I do have a log though (Attached). I don't know if it is a result of the fix attempt, but when I booted normally, Avast didn't display in my icon tray like normal, though I checked and I still have the program.

It said it was successful this time. :) Should I go ahead with the Avast Clear again? Also, should I run it and allow it to restart in safe mode or is it better to boot in safe mode, then run it?

OK, The avastclear worked, I reinstalled it, and it seems to be functioning normally again. It shows I am on Virus Definition version 151031-0 and Program Version 10.4.2233.
