[list]Hello Sean2,
Multiple Antivirus Programs
You are running more than 1 Antivirus program!
AV: Microsoft Security Essentials (Enabled - Up to date) {641105E6-77ED-3F35-A304-765193BCB75F}
AV: avast! Antivirus (Enabled - Up to date) {17AD7D40-BA12-9C46-7131-94903A54AD8B}
Running - more than one - antivirus program is not recommended because:
[*]They can conflict with each other.
[*]Report the other antivirus software as malicious.
[*]Antivirus programs use an enormous amount of computer’s resources… actively scanning your computer.
[*]Can cause your computer to become unstable…run slowly and even, in rare cases, BSOD crash…etc
I strongly suggest you uninstall one of them. Which one, is your decision.
Next … know that Spybot S&D software mighty as is in his time, today is outdated and it can not match to the new malware with his old engine.
And know that these registry cleaner you have may only slow down your system. This is not Windows XP era, Windows 7 is the new OS, you do not want mess that one, beleve me.
Please download Malwarebytes AntiRootkit (MBAR) and save it to your desktop.
