    Yes that's the right website, let malwarebytes finish first, and ideally you should uninstall mcafee before installing avira

    So once the malwarebytes scan is complete (so far it's found 8 infected objects) and I've downloaded avira and done another scan will this hopefully fix the problem?

    Oh and I've gone for the full system scan so I imagine this may take a while....

    You'll have to wait and see, it's not always virus/malware related. Post what it finds, and let malwarebytes and avira fix it.

    Did you tell MalwareBytes to fix what it found.
    You then uninstall McAfee as above, install and update Avira and run a scan, and lastly download and run HijackThis, but don't fix anything - just post the log here.
  • Yeah I uninstalled McAfee ad then installed Avira
    I've just run the hijackthis scan

    With all those dodgy host entries, I would let malwarebytes, and avira (did you install avast instead) do their scans to clean it up the best they can, and then backup your data to usb stick or external drive, and then put it back to the state it was in when it left the factory by using the restore partition - instructions should be in the manual.
