2. ...do I need to fix the 017's and get a fresh HJT Log? If so please instruct. SO FAR the fix seems to have worked I think.., since I have done a search and it no longer "re-directes" me to a bogus page.

Sorry everyone - I'm at work and trying to jump in when I can.  Its been busy ...

Yes, those should be fixed.

3. Do I need to delete the fixware program or any of the other reg/fix programs, once  used?

Not yet.  Fix the lines and post a new HJT log first.

Hi dleske,

Did you run the fix like it should, just like it is explained with pictures there on the bleeping.computer page? Just run it - load the findings, then push the fix button and then reboot... Did you read all the instructions?
You can show your appreciation to come and visit this site and maybe later help others, we're all volunteers here, some with somewhat more experience then others, but we stand on each other's shoulders, and that is making us TALL.

1 & 2. it looks like it confirms the O17 entries were suspect and should be fixed, though the fixwareout tool would appear to have changed the values in the registry, running HJT again should confirm this.

All of those helping you on this are avast users (just like you) volunteering their time to help other avast users.
