IMPORTANT I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Peer to Peer) File Sharing Programs on your computer.

BitTorrent DNA

I'd like you to read the MRU policy for P2P Programs.

Please go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the programs listed above (in red).

Delete this folder afterwards:

C:\Program Files\DNA

Empty Recycle Bin.

Please run a new HJT scan when finished and post the log back here.

actually its not just virus scanning @_@, whenever i do a virus scan after 5 min or so i get a crash / system dump (I can virus scan individual files without getting the errors.)... my updater stopped working properly sometimes it works but after a few seconds then it fails... and i bought the latest LotR game which I have passed the minimum requirements and nearing ideal but remain unable to install. I'm posting here thinking it might be malware related.

Those sound more like to hardware related issues to me.

Have you attempted to uninstall/reinstall AVG and scan in safe mode?

Hmm i still can't to virus scans even after reinstalling and using safe mode. I'm wondering if a virus can do this? And if so which possible parts did it destroy.

I don't think that has anything to do with malware.

Hardware issues is likely the reason here.

Have you ran AVG as administrator when doing scans?

Due to lack of Response this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
