This is being stubborn as hell, not coming up on malwarebytes scan, avast scan, OR hitman pro

here is the aswmbr

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

[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
