No idea what is infected...

Here’s what I have.

Avast says threat detected every few minutes, the process is always C:\Windows\explorer.exe
Firefox, interestingly, says its already running when there is no process for it in task manager.
Whenever the computer reboots, catalyst control center stops working.

could you also attach aswMBR log

I can’t get aswMBR to run for some reason…

Whilst I am looking at the logs let me know if this is able to run

For both aswMBR and that tdsskiller, the only thing that I can tell is happening is that the processes are being killed right after they start. I can see them appear in the task manager list but they are gone just as fast.

Could you reboot the computer and immeditaly press and hold F8 on the menu that appears is there the option "repair my computer " ?

If not do you have a windows cd ?

If not do you have a spare USB drive ?
