not quite...once you've scanned, tick in the box next to the entries listed above (in the list) and then hit Fix Checked
p.s credit to kwikbreaks for picking up my earlier howler
been so long since I'd turned sys res off, I'd forgot
......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple

have also set up a new restore point and done another full disk cleanup
Would you say that has solved problem haven't yet run avg scan as it takes about an hour and slows things down whilst doing it!
Is there anything else I can do to make computer run smoother?
Do I need to do a full disk cleanup regularly and scan with malwarebytes- how often? I will keep both that and hijack this on my computerThanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.

Also I have just looked in my avg virus vault and the 3 trojans it found are still sitting in there is it a good idea to empty vault?
According to avg as well as the trojan in systemvolumeinformation\restore there was also a trojan in hp\recovery\wizard and hp\bin\processlogger.exe
Would what I have done so far weeded them out as well if they were still there?
Thanks for all your great help I would have been truely stuck withour itThanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.

At the moment those vault entries should have been moved to and quarantined within avg's vault. Would be a good idea to delete them now

As for how often to do cleanups/scans....I personally do them once a week or less if I suspect a problem.........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
