Help with virus/rookit

[Hootis]

So i was doing an AVG scan yesterday and found out i had 40 line hook viruses that cannot be removed. i Then scanned later and they were gone. Then i scanned again and they were back.

since then i have switched from avg to avast and so far avast hasn't detected it and i have done multiple scans so far of everything possible to scan.

I really need help getting rid of them all as im pretty sure they are all still there.

Thanks for reading

THanks for the update, if the issues do not return clean up as follows:

Navigate to and delete the following, (if still present): C:\ProgramData\Emsisoft C:\Users\{your user name}\Desktop\start emergency kit scanner - Shortcut.lnk C:\EEK C:\Users\{your user name}\Desktop\EmsisoftEmergencyKit.exe Next, Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop. Or use the following if first link is down: "Delfix link mirror" If your security program alerts to Delfix either, accept the alert or turn your security off. Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator Make Sure the following items are checked:   Remove disinfection tools <----- this will remove tools we have used. Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created. Reset system settings <--- this will reset any system settings back to default that were changed either by us during cleansing or malware/infection Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed. The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this. Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted… Next, Read the following links to fully understand PC Security and Best Practices, you may find them useful....
