ESET will normally find entries that need to be removed because of how it is ran. There is no antivirus program that stops everything 100% of the time. I am glad you will continue to use Avast.

ESET Online Scanner I’d like us to scan your machine with ESET Online Scan
Note:It is recommended to disable on-board anti-virus program and anti-spyware programs while performing scans so there are no conflicts and it will speed up scan time.
Please don’t go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable your anti-virus along with your anti-spyware programs.

[*]Open a new one the usual way and post the results in this topic.
[*]Make sure that the option “Remove found threats” is Unchecked
[*]Push the Start button.
[]ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin
scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.

Had some problems connecting to the web but Win7 fixed it. Also boot time from button press to being able to use PC = 3 minutes 5 seconds. There is a considerable delay before the Date Gadget appears. When that appears on desktop then I am able to use the PC.
[*]Close any open windows.
[*]Right-click and Run as Administrator the TFC icon to run the program
[*]TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
[*]Click the Start button to begin the process.
[*]Allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
[*]The program should not take long to finish it’s job
[*]Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
[*]if it doesn’t, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean
I can use the PC after 3minutes 20 seconds from button press. My system used to boot very fast. I used TFC and also I keep my machine clean. The only thing I do not use and never will are REG Cleaners. But in all honesty my machine once it has booted it runs very fast indeed.
Once more I cannot thank you more for your time and attention! One reason I always used AVAST is because the Avast community is so understanding and helpful. I only wish those Microsoft people were as helpful too.
