I just will get a real anti virus program, that works and has a support team that will respond if you need them.

and by the way I meant I registered to submit a ticket to avast at their web site. you know where you try to get technical support for your paid customers. not this forum

I believe the instructions distinctly said Turn Off System Restore and Reboot.
Once that's done, the restore points are gone.

You have not yet told us what the detection is ? and why you are sure it is a false positive ? are you 100% sure

Follow this guide from essexboy and post the logs so he can have a look

well I'm not 100 % but since it only seems to affect my system restore funtion and all other programs working fine. just started after I ran a scan just to check my pc. no warnings that avast didnt handle before that scan.

this is the latest I removed avast. then reinstalled it. Its looked to me once when I had a message that I traced a file to avast program folder. and it was saying it was corrupted then I scanned it with avast and found no problem. but its possible that some how the avast got a bug. so Now I'm waiting to see if the message appears again. it seems to only appear when I'm away and I guess my system tries to create a restore point.

By the way avast goes crazy with that malware program from that guy. had to stop the scan to be able to do anything but move all his samples to the chest.

you may have a rootkit, rootkits works in mysterious ways,
i am no expert, maybe it is blocking the removal of the restore points to avoid removal?
Follow the guide and let essexboy look at it

dont know how I can run it when avast telling me its a virus/malware other than to stop avast. and I'm not going to take a chance on that program being infected and make more trouble than I have now.

If you see my signature, i am running avast + malwarebytes + superantispyware and most in here do
so if avast is having an reaction on MBAM then something must be seriously wrong

are you able to run OTL and post the log?

What program do you mean? MBAM?
It will not be infected.
It is a popular and competent demand scanner.
What I would suggest is: Once MBAM has been installed and updated, go offline, then disable Avast then run the MBAM scan. At the completion of the scan it will generate a log. Select everything found, then select "remove selected". (This quarantines those items.)
If MBAM prompts for a reboot to finish cleaning anything, do so promptly.
After restart, check that Avast is enabled, go online, post the MBAM scan report.

This behaviour is more typical of malware than a broken AV program.
What version of Avast do you use?

That detection can be (temporarily) ignored, for now. Just don't actually use system restore.
If you right click on the tray icon (the blue ball) and select "about Avast" then expand the top line, (see the picture) what is the build version, and the VPS version?

Please try following the instructions on running MBAM. (If it was indeed MBAM that was causing you to be cautious due warnings, three posts up.)
