Well your HJT log shows AVG at least partially disabled. A sign in some cases of Malware.
Do not try to reinstall or fix it yet.
Do the TechSpot 8 steps: https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/
Skip no steps (do not install another virus scanner as you already have one).
Most importantly update MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware!
Before you scan with SuperAntiSpyWare do the below:
SuperAntispyware extra config
After installed double-click the icon on your desktop to run it.
Update the program definitions.
Click the Preferences button.
Then Scanning Control.
In Scanner Options make sure all boxes are checked except #3 Ignore System Restore.. are checked:
MalwareBytes extra config
After update but before running
Click settings and confirm all are Checked.
I repeat Update these 2 programs.
Run them and attach their logs.

after doing avast virus scanner.. i went to go check my c drive and d drive and came up with this message " windows cannot find 'resycled\boot.com' make aure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search. What did I do?
You already have a Virus scanner and I advised you not to attempt to repair it yet. Not good to have 2 virus scanners. We will fix AVG or uninstall it later.
We will get to it!
Ignore what you have there and get the rest of the 8 Steps.
Mainly the MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware.

Yes I figured that but let me look at the logs.
Mike
No wonder you have problems!
OK you ran MBAM but you did not click next and delete what it found so the log states "No action taken".
You will need to run MBAM again then when it finds them then delete/remove them. Post the new log.
Then run MBAM again to confirm it finds nothing else after these cleared.
Then go here and do this. Even tho you had no problen updating or running.

Well do a Windows search for msconfig*.* to see if it exists on the HD?
We will find it but meantime if you need to handle your startups here nis something better:

If MSConfig is missing
Go to C:\Windows\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\ and check if MSConfig.exe file is there or not. If it’s not there, you can copy it from another computer to the Binaries folder or if you only have Windows XP CD, open a command prompt window, insert your XP CD into the drive and enter the following command: (assuming D is your CD drive and C is where your Windows is installed)
EXPAND -R D:\I386\MSCONFIG.EX_ C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\BINARIES
That should restore MSConfig.exe to your Windows. IF MSConfig.exe is already there and you still can’t launch MSCONFIG from Run command, then the reference to the path within the registry may be wrong. Check this location in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSCONFIG.EXE
In the right pane, next to Default, it should show:
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe
---------------------------
Normal locations of MSConfig
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries

C drive should be your OS.If Windows loaded then C drive in My Computer
should be readable.
D needs a disc in it to read.
Thank you guys so much.... how do you copy it from another computer.. I cant seem to find my Windows XP cd.. now msconfig is in the C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386, and the C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ but not in C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries.....
so yea thank you again so very much at least now i know where i can access it from not just from run.. msconfig... So i just copied and pasted it into the C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries and now it opens when i do run, msconfig..
