Hello,
Fairly recently I ran a full system scan, and found thousands of infected files. I attempt to remove them, but I usually get “Access is denied”. What can I do? Here are screenshots of the report.

if you put the mouse pointer on the vertical bar just in front of SEVERITY and dragg sideways…then the column opens and we can see the full file path
take new screenshot and attach
Thanks for the help.
from the little i can see of the file path yet …did you just update windows?
No major updates recently, though looking through the logs there was a Windows Defender update on 12/17/13, the date of this scan. Do these not look to be rootkits?
Edit: I did add a screenshot of the full file path which I left out the first time.
avast sometimes give this detection after a windows update … have no idea why
if you want a check…
follow the guide and attach the logs from Malwarebytes / OTL / aswMBR http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
when done, malware experts will be notified and help you
Thanks again, It is currently midnight here, so I will update tomorrow once I have the log and full scan completed.
Here’s the Malwarebytes report
Running OTL now

As I can tell from posted SS, avast has been report only files which can not access for some reason.
This does not mean that these files are malicious. However, when you psot OTL and aswMBR log, I should be able to tell you more…
