Infected with unknown virus/malware

I had tried to remove both Vipre and Kaspersky using normal uninstall methods with no success, so I removed them both manually as best I could. If there are tools to remove the vestiges of these programs please let me know.

I am only running Avast and will continue unless you tell me otherwise. With that in mind I followed your instructions; here is the text

Hello.
How is the machine running now?

I had to remove both Vipre and Kaspersky manually and am only using Avast now. If you are aware of any tools which will remove the vestiges of those programs please let me know. I am only using Avast will continue to do so unless told otherwise. With that in mind here is the log from the Eset scan

Looks good, if the machine is running okay now then you should be good to go.
