Hello! i have avast as my main virus protection and i keep getting popups for “Win32:Malware-Gen” “Win32:Downloader-PKU [Trj]” and another “URL:Mal” as well. Those are the ones that keep popping up… I hope you can help thank you very much for your time!
do you also have a Malwarebytes quick scan log?
This happened when i was searching for a good antivirus program, i had previously uninstalled all my antivirus and tried to install avast! I tried a few things before avast but i cant remember what they were called. This happened a few days ago. I quick scan with avast and nothing shows up, even Spybot search and destroy nothing appears now. hope this helps a bit thanks! And yes i do sorry here it is hope its the right one!
even Spybot search and destroy nothing appears nowthat you can uninstall.....it is obsolete with todays malware
malware removers are notified: it may take many hours before one arrive so be patient
will do, no rush here just happy someone out there is willing to help!
thanks!

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.
THEN
Download and Install Combofix
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
- IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
[*]Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/ried7/NSIS_extraction.png
[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
Notes:
- Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
- Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
- If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.
Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now
ok running them now thank you very much for the help:) much appreciated i will get back to you when i am finished!
Here are the logs from combofix and OTL, my laptop seems to be working good now no avast or Mbam popups, had to restart after it said internet explorer was marked for deletion and it works now, Should i delete all the programs ive downloaded or should i keep Mbam running in system tray just in case? also i have two greyed out or hidden “Dektop.ini” and one “WRL0001.tmp” on my desktop as well as a copy of my “resume.doc” that is greyed its now named with a $ in front of it. I still have the original resume.doc and can open and view it fine just those four greyed out files. new word documents work fine i just had to find my product key again and type that back in before i could use microsoft word. Thanks!
Evrett
The greyed out files are word backups that you would not normally see, it is just that my tools have revealed hidden system files. They will be reset at the end
Subject to no further problems
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems
Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean 
A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:
Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
:Commands [resethosts] [emptytemp] [Reboot]
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Remove ComboFix
[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall (Notice the space between the “x” and “/”) then click OK
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee362/Essexboy3/Misc%20screen%20shots/CF_Uninstall-1.jpg
[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled
Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.
We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that
[*]Go to control panel
[*]Select folder options (Appearance > Folder options in category view)
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.

Oh and also about the java you said was out of date, I checked on the website " You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 33). " does that mean i have old java i do not need? Thanks!
Evrett
The latest Java is Version 7 Update 5.

Old Javas are generally full of security loopholes
