If you just re-installed Windows 8, system should be clean. I don't have much time today, What are your concerns?

I'm not really sure on how to understand the reports that mini toolbox and farbar generated but it said there was errors is all I know so I was just wanting to know what its saying and if I need to correct it.

Are you sure you are installing Windows 8 on a healthy drive? You will get funny issues like that after you install a OS on a failing hard drive.

The hard drive should be good but to be on the safe side how can I check?

There doesn't seem to be any major issues, the only concerns I would have is;

1) You stated this was a fresh install }However there are programs such as Utorrent installed and AVG etc (I will assume you were asked to install these).
2) You have Java installed }Java is not really needed unless the user plays games which require it or uses either Open Office or LibreOffice, none of which are shown so Java may not be necessary.
3) You have BHOs and Toolbars installed }Neither of these are necessary especially when it comes to browser plug ins as they will ultimately leave you wide open to infection.
4) You have Java plug ins }Either remove or just disable these as they will cause you more and more hassle.
5) You have a lot of errors listed }This is actually very normal as different Event IDs will give different readings, but they are usually worse looking than it really is. I have never seen a system that doesn't have errors even after a fresh install (some may be Hardware related but most are Software).

It would actually take ages to go through and try to fix each and every error and the chances are you just won't be able to, for every correction made a new error is soon thrown up. Golden Rule: If it ain't broke don't fix it Wink

Well as much as I hate AVG I wouldn't want to start a war among members as to what is best because there isn't any one single AV I just meant as it was a fresh install you wouldn't have AV on the system (apart from Defender, which is why I put "assuming you have been asked to install these").

Oh alright. Yeah I was asked to put avg on there. Myself if I had the money I'd choose Norton internet security or kaspersky. Avg seems to work good but it has lots of adds and annoying notifications (which can be modified)I currently have it installed on my machine so I'm not completely against it lol. I've tried avast but I don't like some of the extras that come with the program and its kind of a big process unticking what I don't want so I just don't use avast lol
