Every time I reboot, I get these errors, I tried scanning with boot-time scan and full scan, but no threats were detected… how do I remove this infection?

The system did require a reboot, so far no pop-ups from avast

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-07-15T20:56:47.000Z

Very good. Let me know in couple of hours if everything is fine.

system · 2015-07-15T20:58:50.000Z

Thank you so much! I will let you know! I noticed some of the stuff had to do with ccleaner, any reasons why?

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-07-15T21:02:15.000Z

I am not sure I understand?

system · 2015-07-15T21:04:03.000Z

Ah, nevermind. thank you anyways!

system · 2015-07-16T01:53:14.000Z

No problems whatsoever, thank you! It seems the issue was resolved!

system · 2015-07-16T03:37:31.000Z

I am yet another with the svhost problem. I have had it for some time, hoping that I would find a program to fix it. I get up to 16 Avast blocks each time I turn on my computer. I do appreciate you willingness to help us. Thanks.

I have attached the log files.

TwinHeadEagle,
You are providing a really great service …. Thanks so much! It cleared up this tenacious problem that has really frustrated me.

I have tried at least eight different programs that were reported to have helped to eliminate this problem. I even purchased Spyhunter. Spyhunter tried really hard to help. They even had a tech connect with my computer to try to find the problem with no success. They said that I need to contact Avast.

I will contribute.

Thanks again,

jwatts
