-= Is this due to a malware or a conflicting program..?
Maybe. Which one are you talking about?

AAVM errors could be verbose of the logs.
RPC errors not. Generally are due to conflict software.

OK, thanks ... I just wanted to be sure that nothing important was missing. There was only a few things worth mentioning in your HJT log.

1- It seems that you don't use an anti-virus scanner or your scanner is not active.
    Only an anti-virus scanner can protect you against new viruses.

2- We didn't detect any active process of a firewall on your system. Reasons maybe:
    (1.) You are using the windows firewall or a hardware firewall.
    (2.) You are using a firewall of an unknown vendor.
    (3.) You are using a firewall, but for unknown reasons it is disabled
    (4.) You don't use any firewall at all.
    We recommend you to use a firewall.

One thing I did notice is that there is only one entry of avast in the log.

C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\ashDisp.exe

No entry for any other av.

Otherwise, a clean HJT log.

-= I guess, I'll try again.. But if it fails again.. I guess, I have no choice but to wait for avast 5..

-= I want to be back to avast.. Avira is fully annoying with the "Upgrade to Premium" notifications..

1.) Okay, well I guess that rules out a Stop-sign conflict then... I do have Spybot, but right now that, and my internet smarts, are the only things protecting me.

2.)The windows firewall should be running, but it totally sucks, I know... I was thinking about picking up  Comodo or something similar.

So... what else could cause this? I'm like... totally baffled here... ??? I think my only option is do a uninstall of Avast and choose something else...

Well, there should have been more entries for avast in your HJT log. There must be more registry entries for avast or it will not work correctly.

Try to do a repair of avast :

Control panel > Add/remove programs > click once on avast to select it > click on Change/Remove > scroll down the left pane and click on repair > click OK> follow directions

I think I already tried that, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try again.

What entries am i missing?

I wish mine would just fix itself...

Repairing didn't do a thing either.
