    My computer keeps freezing randomly and I think this is causing it.

    Another weird thing is my harddrive would "freeze up" I think, and this would cause my computer to freeze. So, it's really hard for me to do a complete computer scan with Avira antivirus.

    I tried to run Avira's bootdisk scan but it gets stuck on "Loading" at 98%.

    As stated in the MBR log, you need to boot to the Recovery Console and run the fixmbr to clear infection.

    You can read the below to help you do this:

    You need to complete the instructions in the READ & RUN ME.
    1. You have multiple antivirus programs installed. You MUST uninstall all but one immediately.
    2. You are using MSconfig to control startups and step 1 explained that you must not do this.
    3. You did not attach the logs from RootRepeal or ComboFix.
