RE: Cannot remove Seth.Avazutracking.Net from my computer - Please help!

Alright,

The only problem I am having with IE is that every time I open it,
I get a blue screen detailing information about crash dump files and then
my computer automatically reboots.

I un-checked everything in the Autoruns: Internet Explorer tab, like you said, and rebooted
my computer. When I logged in and opened IE again, the blue screen reappeared
and my computer had to re-start once more, so whatever the problem is with IE, it's still there.

I have succesfully removed Internet Explorer 11.

In the last step, it tells you to remove all other newly installed
Windows Updates, I have 241 Microsoft Windows items in total and the most
recent ones are from 6-12-2013, which include 7 items:
Security Update for Microsoft Windows, Windows Internet Explorer 10 and a Language Pack,
two Spelling Packages and two Hyphenation Packages.

Then there are other Microsoft Windows items from 14-11-2013, 11-10-2013 and so forth.
Should I remove all these updates or only the 7 items from 6-12-2013?

Just remove Internet Explorer 11. Then reboot the computer and check how the computer is working...

Okay,

I did that and when I opened IE after re-starting my computer,
the blue screen appeard again and the system automatically rebooted itself.

It's the same problem, something about crash dump files.

Alright, I will do that.

But what about Step 1? It states:

Trying to fix a system that is currently infected is obviously a very bad idea
and can make things worse. An infection can hijack a machine and keep part of
the repairs from running correctly. Since only part of a repair will work the
other part that failed could end up causing problems. Rule of thumb before
working on a system is to make sure it is clean. Even if you think your system
is clean doing a scan before hand is a good idea.

Okay,

I'm almost done, but the last step says I have to temporarily disable my Antivirus program
or the repairs might not work properly. Is this really necessary?

It says that the steps could take some time and I am worried that if I disable my
protection, my computer will be at great risk. What should I do?

Also, I'm still getting the Seth.Avazutracking.Net pop-ups along with it's fake shopping advertisements in Firefox.

Alright,

I'm about to do the final step: "Start Repair & Restart/Shutdown System" right now,
but should I temporarily disable Norton 360 in doing so, yes or no?
Please answer, if you can.

Thank you for your reply!

I temporarily disabled Norton along with my internet and then I completed the scan
and automatically re-start my computer. What should I do next?

Yes,

I used Windows Repair (all in one) to do all the steps you listed.
Step 2, Step 3 (FSC), Start Repair (I checked all the things listed: Reset File Permissions, Register System Files, Repair WMI,
Remove Policies set by Infections, Remove Temp Files, along with default checks) and Restart/Shutdown System.

What should I do now?
