Good evening, thank you for taking your time to assist with my issue.
I've been battling this suspected virus infection since dec '14, ESET NOD antivirus install but definitions expired mid 2014. 
Experiencing chrome crashes + unable to even install/run alternative antivirus programs.
I am unable to copy + paste the logs without chrome crashing (tried copy + pasting small sections and it still crashes). Same issue with IE, unable to paste on this post without crashing.
 
Thank you once again for assisting me and apologies for not being able to paste directly to this post.

Dear Essexboy,

 

Thank you for your assistance. I've uninstalled ESET and panda, only errors encountered were failure to remove 2 registry ESET keys. Rest was uneventful.

I am still unable to copy + paste the fixlog/FRST log. Please find them attached. I am able to copy from notepad but the moment I paste into chrome it shuts down. On bootup, adobe updater also crashes. 

 

Warm regards

Hey! Unfortunately windows haven't been updating regularly. 

I've done the above and here's the log (still failing to copy/paste).

 

Thanks again!

This will repair several components of windows and may take up to an hour to run as it will be doing a lot of work

Once it has completed then download and try to install an antivirus and let me know the result


Download Windows All In One Repair from Tweaking.com to your desktop
Install the programme

Reboot to safe mode with networking
Run Windows All In One
Select Step 2
Select open Pre-repairs scan then click scan
Let that complete
Save the results to a text file on your desktop

waioprescan.JPG

Next select Step 4 and run SFC

waiosfc.JPG

Next select Step 5 and back up the registry

waioregback.JPG

Open the Repairs tab

waioopenrep.JPG

Select the following repair numbers :

1 to 27

Set the system to reboot on completion
The press Start Repairs

Good morning!

 

I ran the pre scan and repair as instructed, still failed to copy+paste the report on this post. On boot up, had one BSOD with page fault in nonpaged area, not seen it again. 

edit: I've also tried to install AVG antivirus, but am unable to, after clicking "run" on the security dialog (for downloaded programs) nothing happens.

 

Thank you for your time!

OK lets see if this will run and what if anything it finds

Download aswMBR.exe ( 4.5mb ) to your desktop.
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it.
You may be offered the option of using virtualisation, accept that
When it offers to download the virus database allow that as well
Click the "Scan" button to start scan

AswMBR%20scan.JPG


On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

In the search box type Msconfig and select the programme that appears at the top

1.In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click Selective Startup on the General tab.
Cleanboot1.JPG
2.Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
NoteThe Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.
3.Click the Services tab.
4.Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
cleanboot2.JPG
5.Click Disable All, and then click OK.
6.When you are prompted, click Restart.
7.Now try to run AswMBR.. Does it work

Tried the F8 trick, it didn't give a chance to get to that menu, doesn't get to the black windows screen before it gets to that screen pictured above.

Found an old hdd, am trying to clone it over desperately to revive the computer.
