    Ok then. Yes that is fine if you would like. The important thing is to choose the uninstall button like shown in the screenshot. This will delete all reg keys and drivers if any are found and then will prompt to restart.

    Later, AFTER you rebooted from the utility, if you like you can search for and delete any folders you find with avast. But the removal tool should be fine.

    Once you finish doing the above,
    After you get booted back up. Hit no (if you can) on the uac prompt for command center.

    Then Please do what was posted in post 25.

    Confirm with me what you have done when you finished.

    I haven't run tfc yet, but I think this might be of some importance; When I had the avast uninstaller restart my computer I waited for about 10 minutes for my computer to shutdown and reboot, but it just kept on saying "shutting down". I decided to turn it off manually with the power button and I restarted it in safe mode. I went on with the avast uninstaller and uninstalled the avast software and restarted my computer in normal mode.

    I ran tfc here are the results"

    total files cleaned: 3,901.00 mb

    Towards the end of the scan, libraries opened out of nowhere.

    There was no prompt to reboot so I restarted the computer myself.

    When my computer restarted there is a black space in my icons and I don't remember what was there, but I do remember there not being an open space.

    I still received the command center prompt. Here's a picture:

    Ok, thank you for the information. Run herdprotect again. This time remove what was showing in the screenshot from earlier. Everything above the inconclusive line. Does this make sense? Check and remove those programs. Click the item-Action-delete. Once done, and the threats removed; restart the pc. Run it again and then post a new log.

    1.) Were you able to save the file (tfc) in google chrome or did you have to use internet explorer?

    Before I do that, would it be safer to shut down my computer and then turn it on instead choosing restart after the removal of the threats?

    I ran the herdprotector scan, found one threat (the other ones i remember it showing last time are gone)and I chose to look at the details of it and it was part the uninstallation software for call of duty world at war (a game I have on disc). herdprotect told me that I should uninstall COD WAW from the control panel before deleting this file because it might not allow the game to uninstall correctly if I ever chose to do so. I decided to check on here before removing the file.

    There was an option to cancel looking at the details and go back to the scan results so I could be ready to remove the file, but when I clicked cancel this appeared and has been "removing set.exe" for about 15 minutes. Should I close the herdprotect window and rescan?

    You do not need to uninstall call of duty. You can just close out of herdprotect and restart your pc. Even if it still says removing setup exe, just restart. Setup.exe is not malware. Your game will be fine.

    Now move on to this:

    Run herdprotect again, save a log and upload it here. (Were done with the malware removal imho. This is just so I can double check.) Just close out of herdprotect then.

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________

    Next step for directions:

    Command center is not malware. It is this: Alienware Command Center - Should I Remove It?

    You do not need should I remove it to uninstall it, that link is just for information purposes.

    It is made by alienware. Find it under control panel-uninstall a program. Find it and uninstall it. It is just bloatware from the manufacturer you do not need.

    Then restart.

    Keep up the good work :)
