Hope this what you need!

Thank you toofy. This is what I needed.

Your emails contained attachments and you MUST NOT open them. AVG Antivirus has quarantined it, your computer is safe, as long as the mails are not opened.

Other than that, your logs look clean.

Here are some tips to prevent such issues again:

Flush the system restore points

1. Right click on My Computer and select Properties.
2. Select the System Restore tab.
3. Check (tick) Turn off system restore on all drives box.
4. Click OK.
5. Restart your computer.

After restarting your computer, follow these steps:

1. Right click on My Computer and select Properties.
2. Select the System Restore tab.
3. Uncheck (untick) Turn off system restore on all drives box.
4. Click OK.
5. Restart your computer.

Note: Do this only ONCE, don't flush it regularly.

Keep your system updated

Microsoft releases patches for Windows and Office products regularly to patch up Windows and Office products loopholes and fix any bugs found. Please ensure that you visit the following websites regularly or do update your system regularly.

Install the updates immediately if they are found. Reboot your computer if necessary, revisit Windows Update and Office update sites until there are no more updates to be installed.

To update Windows

Go to Start > All Programs > Windows Update

To update Office

Open up any Office program.

Go to Help > Check for Updates

Alternatively, you can visit the links below to update Windows and Office products.

Windows Update
Office Update

Be careful when opening attachments and downloading files.

1. Never open email attachments, not even if they are from someone you know. If you need to open them, scan them with your antivirus program before opening.
2. Never open emails from unknown senders.
3. Beware of emails that warn about viruses that are spreading, especially those from antivirus vendors. These email addresses can be easily spoofed. Check the antivirus vendor websites to be sure.
4. Be careful of what you download. Only download files from known sources. Also, avoid cracked programs. If you need a particular program that costs too much for you, try finding free alternatives on Sourceforge or Pricelessware.

Backup regularly

You never know when your PC will become unstable or become so infected that you can't recover it. Follow this Microsoft article to learn how to backup. Follow this article by Microsoft to restore your backups.

Alternatively, you can use 3rd-party programs to back up your data. One example can be found at Bleeping Computer.

Good news! Thanks very much.
About your advice. As far as I can see both Windows & Office Update are set to occur automatically but I am puzzled why you do not suggest this as an option in your comments. If I am misunderstanding the situation please let me know. Is it OK to rely on the auto options?
Also, since doing the flushing procedure there is a click from the back of the pc identical to that when it is switched off. This is sometimes happening every 3 or four seconds but it has stopped whilst I am typing this! Any idea what this might be?
I have tried to discover how to scan an e-mail attachment prior to opening it using AVG Free, but have failed. Can you help? If this is not your area of expertise please say so & I will enquire of another forum.
I will read about the Backup article tomorrow.
Many thanks for your help. I hope you are soon passed to operate in your own right. Good Luck.

Hi toofy,

As far as I can see both Windows & Office Update are set to occur automatically but I am puzzled why you do not suggest this as an option in your comments.

I've left that out. Thank you for your suggestion.

Is it OK to rely on the auto options?

Yup, it's OK to rely on it so that you won't forget to update.

Also, since doing the flushing procedure there is a click from the back of the pc identical to that when it is switched off. This is sometimes happening every 3 or four seconds but it has stopped whilst I am typing this! Any idea what this might be?

I have no idea why this is happening. You can ask for help at Tech Support Forum if this continues.

I have tried to discover how to scan an e-mail attachment prior to opening it using AVG Free, but have failed.

AVG Antivirus, by default will scan e-mail attachments prior before opening. The screenshot you've posted earlier showed that.

Many thanks for your help. I hope you are soon passed to operate in your own right. Good Luck.

You are welcome.

Thank you for your kind words.
