Hello,
Can someone please help with removal of this malware? Avast keeps stopping it, but won’t find to clean. I downloaded OTL and have attached the text document.
I appreciate any help!

Could you let me know if the alerts continue after this run

Much Thanks essexboy!
Attached is the new scan. I haven’t received the alert as of yet and it usually came up as soon as I connected to the internet. One other problem I am having though, is that Windows will not allow me to turn on the firewall. Any ideas? Hope the log file looks good.
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!
Go to the MS Fixit centre and run the security fixit http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/
Once run let me know if that cures the problem
I tried that and the results are…
We detected some problems with your system and were able to successfully apply the fixes. However, our verification shows that the problem still exists.
Windows firewall service is not started.
Any other ideas?
OK lets try this
Please download UVK to your desktop and install
Run UVK and select Repair system

I am glad ;D .
Sorry for OT.
I may have resolved it. Been working on it all morning. I ended up downloading Microsoft Security Essentials. It found a couple malware. Cleaned those, rebooted, and was able to turn on the firewall.
Thanks so much for your help. Do you think I could still have something lurking? Should I still go ahead and run the UVK?
Thanks again!
No, no need now. What did MSE find ?
It found Adware:Win32/GameVance and Trojan:Win64/Sirefef.B
This is my son’s laptop and he has installed all kinds of game stuff. Trying to teach him he can’t just do that.
