if this report does not fix it, is there another way to unlock these 2 things

How DID you remove the virus? That is one thing we need to know before we go forward.
You are running TWO anti-virus programs, Avast and AVG 8. That is an absolute No-No.
TOTALLY UNINSTALL one of them immediately. You will have to do this before other steps can be taken.
The infection is NOT removed by the way, it still shows in your HJT log.

Turn off that uTorrent program and leave it off.

i used windows search and regedit, searched all files with the name windows anti virus and deleted everything that matched, the spot in program files, the spot in system and all matching registries

[mike123421]

utorrent is gone, although i did notice something weird while i was looking in regedit, i went in hkey current user and in control panel because that is where the locked things are and i notice a file that looks out of place, it is called don't load and the d is not capitalised like in all other folders, in it is 2 files named ncpa.cpl and odbccp32.cpl

[jholland1964]

That was not the way to remove the infection. Removing the entire infection file by file manually is almost impossible. PLEASE leave the registry ALONE. Remove that extra Anti-virus program immediately. Then I will give you a program to remove the infection. But leave the registry alone.

Obviously you can't remove that extra AV program since you can't get into Add/Remove...that is a "duh" on my part. You will have to totally disable one of them using the program itself.

[mike123421]

ok, i dont need avast but i cant access the add or remove programs file so i will go with deleting avg until problem solved, sorry for my foolish attempt to erase the fake antivirus, i didnt know any other way.

[jholland1964]

Avast is the better program really.
Do the following:
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) to your Desktop.

* DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When MBA-M finishes, Notepad will open with the log. Please save it where you can find it easily. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt.

Reboot the computer.

Once rebooted, run a new HJT scan. Save the log. Post back here with the MBA-M log and the HJT log.

[jholland1964]

Just posted it. Follow the instructions and be sure you REMOVE all that is found. REBOOT the computer and post back with both logs.
