Hey so I'm trying to dual boot an old computer but it wouldn't let me use any bootable disks. I ran Malwarebytes and AVG free and removed a bunch of PUP's and a rootkit but the problem still persists. There seems to be issues with the event logger not starting and it looks like the attacker is using a usb drive J (that is empty) to run files

Hello, thanks for replying, do you have any suggestions?

I've attached the output of the Malwarebytes scan that found threats. I uninstalled AVGfree but it also found threats. I can look for logs from that or reinstall if that helps

Actually I think the first scan was just the normal scan and MalwareBytes didn't find anything and then I ran a deep scan and those were the results
 
You've been infected with some serious malware. I suggest to wipe your drive and install system from scratch.
 
Yeah seems like it. Problem I'm having though is when I remove the HDD and try to boot from a recovery disk or livecd the bios doesn't see anything in the DVD drive
