Time for a back up and Factory Restore?

Yes, possibly.

To recap:

Ran Malwarebytes - Removed various junkware.
Unistalled various junkware.
Ran AdwCleaner - Removed various junkware.
Ran Chkdsk (Check Disk) - Bad sectors found.

Didn't/doesn't freeze in safe mode - points to software.

Ran SFC (System File Checker)
Removed AVG secure search.
Temporarily uninstalled Mcafee.

''system volume on disk is corrupt - chkdsk completed sucessfully''

Removed Norton remnants.

From the first DDS scan in normal mode, hopefully the Norton services/drivers are gone (In green), as has the AVG toolbar service (blue) - But Iv'e notice there's another AVG driver (red) running also - we could try removing that and see if it makes a difference.

You could troubleshoot if the others are causing the problem with a clean boot. I'd be looking at Adobe, Nero, Skype - but it could be any.
