I would be happy to get rid of MSE and replace it with something more reliable, and if it even works well I don't have a problem paying for it. Of course, I went for months without any issues and then this happened out of nowhere
Windows Firewall and MSE disabled; cannot open downloaded documents

OK, as far as weird stuff goes... I find these text files pop up on my desktop every so often. Some kinda of java error? Just noticed it; attached to this post.

OK we will sort that next.. First lets kill this bad boy and then replace MSES
Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST and press fix
Please post the log it generates
THEN
Download Avast Free to your desktop
Uninstall MSES
Install Avast, a reboot may be required and it will run a quick scan after install
Default settings for Avast will be good so no need to dig around in the interface

OK, working again after the reboot. Fixlog is attached.
MSE came online and detected the following, all occuring at 4:35pm yesterday:
trojan Win64/Sirefef.P
trojan Win32/Sirefef.AB
trojan Win32/Sirefef!cfg (this one is shown twice)
and this one again, occuring at 10:29am today:
trojan Win64/Sirefef.P
all are under MSE's quarantined status; still reccomending to uninstall MSE and try Avast?

Yes because Avast will also give additional data as to where it is and should block it as it tries to install

Once Avast is installed could you then run OTL as I will need to use that to remove the google desktop folder.. FRST failed to move that
Can you recall anything unusual or untoward at about 4:35 yesterday ?
Download OTL to your Desktop
Secondary link

- Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
- Select All Users

- Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
- When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
- Attach both logs

log files attached.
nothing abnormal about 4:30ish yesterday. I do find it odd that google desktop is still doing something, despite being uninstalled and does not even appear on my list of programs in the control panel.
Avast installed and did its initial quick scan, detected no problems.
