Infection? (pcreg) - help needed (and greatly appreciated!)

[dornellas]

ok - figured it out. Sorry, sleep deprived and first day of school for kids.  Attaching both reports. Thank you. 

(note: I am still getting those avast files (screen grab) on system even after the clean. Thank you!

PC seems clean, just one final fix. How is the situation now?

 

 

 

 

 

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

 

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

 

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

 

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

 

Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.

(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).

Press the Fix button just once and wait.

If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.

When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

 

Please attach it to your reply.

fixlist.txt

they will not delete - getting this message

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Then it is the best to leave them be. They are small and cannot harm you. Just some empty settings.
