Prior to doing the OTL log, please clean your machine with CCleaner -- a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool.  There is a Slim version available at http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds.  It removes unused files (cache, temporary Internet files, etc.) from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space.  It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history.  Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner.

and...

Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop.

http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/
·   Please double-click TFC.exe to run it.  (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
·   It will close all programs when running, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
·   Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.  Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
·   Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

After doing BOTH cleaners...then run the OTL logs.

Do you have any questions?  I will be signing off shortly but will check in later.  I will let Essexboy run the show but be in the background.

I'm still unsure how to attach the file but if you log off I'm sure someone can help me with it. Thank you for all your help SafeSurf.

Do NOT run the registry scanner as I do not want any interference with the work of Essexboy.

@ Left123, please read the thread prior to posting.  The OP has already been instructed to run CCleaner.

fiveavast,

I would like you to take instruction from Essexboy or Avast Evangelists at this point so what we have done does not get messed up.  We are trying to repair your system.  Thank you.

Thank you.  I don't want to make any changes in it, but you can certainly do the CCleaner and TFC cleaners to clean up your machine.  I have already notified Essexboy.  He will be looking for your OTL logs in your next post.
