Recently, I noticed a slowness in my laptop and takes a long time to boot.
it was working fine in the safe mode but freezes in the normal mode.
I ran some AV and some antispyware programs and with the help of some experts, we found some nasty files in system 32 and some malware.
We removed all of them. But I am still feel unsafe, so I downloaded today the
AVIRA rootkit tool, and ran it. It detected 3 files in the registry.
the report of AVIRA rootkit is the following :

Avira AntiRootkit Tool (1.1.0.1)

Please, if any one can find this out to me if these are rootkits and I have to remove them, or what ?
Thanks
 
Well since we don't know who the experts are that you have already worked with I would like to begin with what we normally use on this forum. Please CLOSELY follow the instructions below so we can begin.

------

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware HERE or HERE and save it to your desktop.

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    o Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    o and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Then please post a HijackThis log by doing the following:

Download the HijackThis installer from HERE

Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.


Post the logfile that HijackThis produces along with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log and a detailed description of the problems you are experiencing.
