Restart OTL and when Avast sandboxes, it in the drop down box select run as normal and tick the remember box.

I had some trouble proceeding. Avast did want to run OTL in the sandbox and thge scan took a while.

Here are the logs. I can see no additional file compared to last time but I can see these files got modified. So, I assume the new logs are on them.

Now, the icons came back on the desktop and the start menu is populated again (don't know yet if everything is there) but the desktop is still black.

There are a few Norton drivers left.. If you wish I can remove them for you

Otherwise that looks good

Yes, the desktop looks right after doing what you said.
And if the Norton drivers are not necessary, might as well remove them

Run OTL

I am going to run OTL like you said.
Apparently, the screen look fine at the moment, but of course, I have not used it yet, since I was busy with OTL etc.

OK once you have rebooted  have a little play with the computer to see that all is working as it should... Then once you are happy I will remove my tools and tidy up

After running OTL with the code you gave, I just checked my mail and quickly googled. The PC looks FINE. What can I say?  THANK YOU. You cannot imagine how tense I have been all day trying to understand what was what and doing things beyond my skills.
When you talk about removing your tools, is it about removing antimalware byte, rogue killer, OTL and their logs? I was about to ask what to do about them.
Besides, I have something that's popping up the file XYZ (long name, exactly the one avast told me was a threat) has been modified or moved. This shortcut doesn't work properly any longer. Do you want to cancel it. Is it the right time to cancel it?
