Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:
Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!
- Please close any other programs you are using and save your work / files. The FRST script will close all unneeded processes and then reboot the system (if needed) when finished.
- Right-click on

icon and select

Run as Administrator to start the tool.
(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). - Press the Fix button just once and wait.
- If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
- When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.

How is your system running now?
My system is still somehow slow. I noticed that my system does not connect to the internet whenever Malwarebytes is running, please . why is this so?
I attached the fixlog file
Please try and reboot your system into Safe Mode (if you need instructions on this, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17419/windows-7-advanced-startup-options-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7 ) and then reboot it into Normal mode. Is your system still running slow now?
I have rebooted it to safe mode and normal mode, am still checking the performance. Can i uninstall Malwarebytes?
Yes you can uninstall Malwarebytes. Have you considered updating the version of Avast also?

Yes,thank you so much for your kind assistance i will update the version, but the virus definition of this current version(avast 2015) is updated ,i don’t know the reason why avast didn’t detect the secure-surf.net and nova.rambler.ru virus? can i conclude that avast is not 100% secure?
Thank you. but i didn’t download any software of recent. And i am very annoyed that my system got infected under avast antivirus watch!! its very bad
You should conclude to keep it updated.
kindly help me with a link to a latest and full version not trial version
Update to the latest version (17.4.2294): https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=201729.0
