Hi, I recently scanned my computer with Avast Antivirus and a vast majority of the high threat viruses it found were in my system32 folder. I'm aware of the importance of this folder to the OS and I'm slightly scared of deleting/moving to chest in the possible case some of them are false positives and my computer will no longer boot.
Here's the list of them (A lot, I know, but I'm very egotistical and it took my entire family to convince me that I had viruses.)

Please, someone tell me if it's safe to delete/move to chest.

Oh, may I mention, I have no visible viruses, it's just my computer has gotten a bit slower than it has been for the last few months ago, and my geforce 8800 GT, while fairly old, shouldn't be running this badly.
Do you have Windows discs? Just back up some important files and then try to fix those viruses. If you screw something up, you'll just have wasted some time.
Re-format? :v:
Took your entire family to call you a fucking idiot, for you to realize you had trojans? Well then, you don't have viruses. Move along.
or you can use [url=www.malwarebytes.org]Malware AntiBytes[/url]
Avast won't remove important system files, you should be safe to remove them all.
Ok, thanks djjkxbox.
Just kidding your fucked.
Files with random letter names are almost always safe to nuke.
Malware bytes.
You schmucks, removing the virus dynamic link library or executable doesn't solve the entire problem. You need to clean out all the temp folders, yes all of them you queer. Then remove their reg keys to keep the machine from bogging down.
Then when that's all set and trying to clean up the problem doesn't work, you need yo spend hours yo clean it all up, or if you're a fucking lazy shit, go and reformat. Its either or. Removing the actual virus doesn't removing the backdoor stream you retards.

Not to mention, I bet one of those are virtumonde. Good job having that ego of yours. What the fuck did you think? You were too good for a virus? Oh boy... you might want to rethink your life and status, especially if you got your head that far up your ass.

Pay no heed to him, good sir. Any good AV program does all that FOR you.

Any good AV doesn't do a good enough check against some strains of viruses due to the way they produce.
"Virtu" strains (Virtumonde, Virut/Virto) are almost impossible to remove due to the way they inject themselves. Some speciality applications (Always free too, surprise) will remove them.
Plus if the AV just sees the file executing, or being executed. It stops it and prompts for your decision. Any good AV will cost you money. Nod32 will be the most effective. Avast will annoy the shit out of you asking what it's going to do (Unless you set up a rule). Kaspersky is lacking in good removal techniques. AVG will fuck with your DNS server if it exists in your network (Home users, tend not to have a DNS server). Norton and McAffe don't fix anything.
And for the amount of trojans you have on there, I REALLY suggest going for a deeper clean.
Combofix, Malware Antibytes, and a good scan with the trial of Nod32. A AV only works the best when its activated, PRIOR to the infection.

Spybot S&D removed virtumonde on my parents pc once, good piece of kit that
I'd highly recommend reformatting, chances are you aren't going to completely rid yourself of them.
