Downloading your attachments here in forum has nothing to do with your smartscreen filter being on or off

Is it ok to turn my SmartScreen back on for check apps and files?

FRST logs doesn't show traces of malware and your system is clean. You can turn SmartScreen on and delete folder C:\FRST.
Regarding BitTorrent client I see you have installed uTorrent. Did he was detected by Avast?

Thank you, I've done that...I still have those 6 bittorrent that were moved to my virus vault, can I delete those? Also I have other bittorrent stuff still on my computer is ok to delete those too, registry etc? Avast found the infected files and moved them there but I wasn't able to uninstall the application and bittorrent leftovers are still around.

I didn't do it that way I clicked on my antivirus and unchecked file shield, web shield and mail shield, I then installed bittorrent and turned all three back on.
