I downloaded avast yesterday on my win7 laptop did updates and ran it it suggested a start up repair before windows starts up so i restarted my comp. It started the repair
but it says startup repair could not automatically repair this comp and shuts down the comp.
i have tried system restore but it says a system restore point has not been created on this comps system drive and i can’t seem to get into safe mode to get around it and unistall pressing f5 just brings up a window that says start up windows 7 or doing a mem diagnostics
NEVER install multiple AV programs…it will give you all kind of windows errors and false positive detections
CCleaner is not a antivirus…AVG is, and should have been removed before install
it detected a rootkit
OK i will notifie the removal expert, essexboy...see if have a way around this
if you recently attached a device to the computer such as a camera or portable music player remove it and restart your computer. if you continue to see this message contact your system admin or comp manufacturer for assistance.
i have no devices plugged in other than my wireless mouse.

To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE (Window Recovery Console). To do this, follow these steps:
Put the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
Press a key when you are prompted.
Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then clickNext.
Click Repair your computer.
Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.
Bootrec.exe options
The Bootrec.exe tool supports the following options. Use the option that is appropriate for your situation.
Note: If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup issue, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. By doing this, you make sure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the Windows RE command prompt: bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /RebuildBcd
