Hello. Thanks for the assistance. This is my 1st time doing this so if anything is incorrect please let me know & I will ltry again.
Here’s the last one.
looks okay and it seem you have a Siref rootkit infection :-\
i also see that you have avast and McAfee installed…
never install multiple AV programs, it will slow down your machine, give mysterious windows errors, false positive detections etc etc
so you need to uninstall one, and then run a removal tool to clear any leftover files that may conflict
you find the tool here.

magna86 will remove the malware when he is back later today

Re-run OTL and click on CleanUp! button.
You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process, choose Yes.
After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.

K. Just did it.
