The addons are only gmail notification and tv watch.
Some bad stuff was removed from your browsers so I guess they must have got caught up with the cleaning.
You may have to reinstall those.
Also, if I remember rightly it was Chrome that was the worst offender with the BSOD's so it will be interesting to see if the TV one causes any difficulty when reinstalled. Can't imagine the gmail notification being a problem unless it itself was infected.
Now
Your logs look okay to me.
We will clean away the tools we have been using and I will leave the topic open for a day or two so that you can come back if any issue arises.
I think your machines is good to go now.
We have a couple of last steps to perform and then you're all set.
Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix and tools used in the removal of malware. This will also clean out and reset your Restore Points.
- Go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on Run
- Copy and paste the the bolded text below in the box then hit OK
Combofix /Uninstall
- Double-click OTL.exe to run it. (Vista users, please right click on OTL.exe and select "Run as an Administrator")
- Click on the CleanUp! button
- Click Yes to begin the Cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
- You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A reminder: Remember to (re-install if uninstalled during cleaning) update and turn back on any anti-malware programs you may have turned off during the cleaning process.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some things that I think are worth having a look at if you don't already know about them:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is good security practice to change your passwords to all your online accounts on a fairly regular basis, this is especially true after an infection. Refer to this Microsoft article Strong passwords: How to create and use them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Java warning
Java is a popular point of entry to your computer for malicous programs. The United States Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java see here. Unless you need it to run an important software the safest approach is to completely uninstall Java. Where you do require it then the next safest option is to disable it in your browsers until you need it, then enable it.
How to disable Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser
If you do still need Java then regularly check that it is up to date. Older versions are the most vulnerable to malicious attack.
- Download Java for Windows
Reboot your computer.
You also need to unininstall older versions of Java.
- Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
- Remove all Java updates except the latest one you have just installed.
CryptoLocker Warning
There is a particularly nasty infection out there at the moment.
Go here for information about CryptoLocker Ransomeware
Download CryptoPrevent free for home use.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To help protect your computer in the future:
If you do not already have automatic updates set then it is recommended that you do set Windows to check, download and install your updates automatically.
* Click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update
* Under Windows Update click on Turn automatic updating on or off
* Check items shown to ensure you receive updates automatically. Click OK.
Be aware of what emails you open and websites you visit.
Go here for some good advice about how to prevent infection.
A fun way to check your online safety literacy.

Also if I do get a BSOD should I post here or old thread?
Come back here, we can have a look to see whether its something we can deal with or whether you should go back to the technical side.

Might be some corruption somewhere... could be caused by malware, file damage or hard drive corruption. I guess most of that would have been looked at before you came here. Sometimes you can get corruption during the malware cleaning process so I think it's worth running these even if you have done them already.
Firstly
Please run the System File Checker.
Follow these steps:
- Click Start > Run and type sfc /scannow (note the space, it should be there), and then press ENTER.
- Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
- Restart your computer when System File Checker process is complete.
After that
Please download Security Check by screen317 from here .
- Save it to your Desktop.
- Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
- A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.
- tell me SFC found anything
- post checkup.txt

To do this:
- Click Start, select Run,
- Then type cmd in the box; to get to the Command Prompt utility
- Click Ok
- Run the chkdsk utility by typing in the following command:
Note: The gaps should be there.
- at the question "Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts?" type Y
- Restart you computer and let chkdsk run
Be patient, it can take a long time.
When it's finished come back and tell me how it went.
Also
Sometimes an anti-virus program can interfere with something it doesn't like, causing problems. You might try uninstall AVG and trying something else for a bit to see if that helps. If you think that is a good idea here are two good anti-virus programs free for personal use that you can choose from:
Note: Do not use more than one anti-virus or firewall. Running two or more real-time anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall monitors at the same time can cause a conflict. That conflict can result in slow computer performance, error messages, crashes of the programs or other types of failure. You will very likely end up with little or no protection.

Would you have any other suggestions of antivirus?
No, those are the only free for home use ones I would recommend.
It was only something to try if you wished.
Also I will tell ya the chkdsk last time I did with /f and /r the one that runs before windows boots actually BSOD last time I did it.
I wonder if that was an indication of an hard disk problem. Might be something to take further in the tech forum.
But I have no problem trying again.
Well up to you but it might tell us something.

Go to Start and in the Search programs and files panel type Administrative tools
Click on and open Administrative tools and go to Event viewer > Windows logs > double click Application and Click on 'source' at the middle top to sort by ascending/ descending order. Locate 'wininit' and click on it to view.

Well I let the 2nd chkdsk run its course no problems found but it did BSOD I will write out the code here after I explain. I rebooted after the BSOD and windows wanted to chk the drive again I hit any key to bypass and its currently stuck there. I'm giving it time to make sure no hard drive activity before I power down again any advice? I do that the recovery console as a startup option. Here is the error it didn't state the type just the address and such.
stop 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xb85f651d, 0xb84ebc3c, 0xb84eb938)
FS_rec.sys
-address
b85f651d base at b85f6000, datestamp 3b7d8361
If ya check my older thread on BSOD that might be the same error for the BSOD that happened for chkdsk or atleast same
file
Further update its currently stuck bypasses the scan that was done before the BSOD hit after chkdsk was done. It hangs there a good hour before hdd activity ceases. I starts to bypass the chkdsk and starts the dot line like it will boot to xp normally then spots.

The problems with running chkdsk are better dealt with by technical experts.
I think you need to go back to your old thread. Tell them that the BSOD's are still there and provide a link here and see if they can find a technical reason for your problems.
From a malware perspective:
- We did find some malware which we cleaned.
- There could be conflict going on with your anti-virus programs - this is evidenced from your reports of problems with AVAST and MSE both of which work fine on other XP machines. Also AVG has caused problems on some machines too. If it is conflict with your AV's I would try MSE as the most likely to work but as you say that doesn't seem to work for you. A paid for AV might be your best option. Maybe ESET or BitDefender.
- SFC appeared to run without finding anything. If it had run into difficulties, I would have suggested you uninstall and reinstall SP3 to fix any corruption in your files.
