I'm not getting much to go on here. Are you running the latest version of malwarebytes? Can you tell me what files are being classified as viruses/malware?
 
Sorry i got ahead of my self a little bit yes everythings up to date.Avira gives me this:
Virus or unwanted program 'TR/Dropper.Gen [trojan]'
detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\TEMP\AVSCAN-20110923-194958-B263477C\AVSCAN-00000004.exe12.

Action performed: Deny access

And Comodo says this:
TrojWare.Win32.TrojanDownloader.FraudLoad.ebl@19704015 H:\System Volume Information\_restore{657091AC-F23B-4155-8DEA-E9FF77991D7D}\RP28\A0008333.exe
 
Ok, the problem you have is that you have more than one antivirus program installed. You need to decide which one to keep. Comodo has quarantined what it has found and I assume avast did the same thing. So once you uninstall one then rescan your system and see what it finds. Whatever is left should be quarantined or deleted and you shouldn't get any more notices about it.

When you have 2 antivirus programs installed at the same time, the 2 conflict with each other.
 
Ic so which one would you recommend uninstalling? Also i have the same setup on my computer thats in my sig why hasnt the same thing happened? or is it just a matter of time?
 
Most likely just a matter of time. If you paid for commodo then you probably should keep that one. But would probably go with avast when your subscription runs out for commodo.
 
Comodo was free so no big deal to uninstall and switch over.Now your saying Avast should i uninstall Avira and Comodo and install Avast?
 
Another quick question when i run Defraggler on my C drive it wont get any better then 39% no matter how many times i run it.Is there something i can do to fix this?

I've had issues like this before with some of my clients systems, the percentage wasn't that high though. You can try using windows 7 disk defragmenter and then retry defraggler to see what happens.
 
Ok so i ran windows 7 disk defragmenter which said it was 1% and after the run it was down to 0% then i ran Defragglerright afterwards it now says its at 44% and wont go any lower.

Actually it looks like its only 2 files that won't defrag and those would the restore points unless i'm reading the log wrong and you didn't post the full list. You can shut off system restore to delete the restore points and then turn it back on to see if the issue is resolved.
 
Whys that on my C drive cause the back up save points are supposed to be on my external F drive also can i just delete the 2 files from Defraggler or is there some other way i should do it?
