Post the MBAM Log.
Remover Notified
I see that you have run combofix, could you attach the log please and also take a screen shot of the Avast alert
couldn’t get a screen shot, did attach log though of the shield
OK Avast does not like the server that AVG secure search is using
Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems
Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot
Run OTL
