What other antivirus are you running?
If you just mean the online scanners then that should be okay, but if you have another av installed on your computer with Avira then it will cause problems.0 -
Avira was playing up so downloaded avast. Stopped avira (except for update which I cant do) started avast. I think its time for a radical move. Hard disk is too small so will get a new one and do a fresh install, can't now do sys restore to go back nor can uninstall avast.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

This will uninstall Avast - it's specified to run it in safe mode.

Thanks, managed to uninstall avast. Now left with an avira constantly trying to update. I tried to install a fresh copy over the top as they remove the old installation first, at least they should but they just told me to remove manually but cannot as the updater is constantly running.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Is update.exe running in Taskmanager?0
-
Yes, removed it and still it up dates. Now trying revo uninstaller which seems to be working. Will then put avast back on. Hope this is right, it feels like 1 step forward and 2 step back.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Once you've done that lets get some diagnostic reports before going further. It's easier to see what is wrong and then point you in the right direction rather than running scan after scan for the sake of it.
It should take 2-3 minutes.
Download DDS from the link below and save it to your desktop:
Link
After you've downloaded it and saved it to your desktop:- Double click DDS to run it.
- When it's finished, DDS will open two logs:
- DDS.txt
- Attach.txt
Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt for now and post it here (you may need to split the log over separate posts)0 -
OK. Avira gone. Avast on. MB scan (all clear) took 6.min45sec which is more like it. Thanks, will do above when I get home, I flit in and out from work at moment, will have to do some work soon or else.
Edit. Avast has found 3 infections so far, still running, will do the DDS when able.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0 -
