I would definitely substitute his suggestion of MSE with avast! 7 Free and get it from the Avast direct download link:  :)
http://www.avast.com/download-thank-you.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.avast.com%2Fiavs5x%2Fsetup_av_free.exe&product=FA-AVAST&page=download-software&locale=en-ww&avast=0
I would also change The last part of the installation instructions that are offered on the website from Express Install to Custom Install.
Custom Install = No Surprises. :)

Windows Repair Portable 1.9.2  There is a very informative video on the Major Geeks website.
avast! will ask to run this sandboxed. (I've checked it it's clean and set it to run normally- remember my answer)






Comments always welcome. :)

When I first saw this I thought that any program that offers to install avast! and Malwarbytes had to be
a program worth investigating. :)
