It is not an AVS issue it is a path issue. please notice the very last digit in the path.
The program is trying to open
C:\Users\Sean\AppData\Local\AwesomeMiner\EthDcrMiner64_1\Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v10.3
The computer has this installed
C:\Users\Sean\AppData\Local\AwesomeMiner\EthDcrMiner64_1\Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v10.2
AM says it is up to date
The path is correct.
v10.2 was used by Awesome Miner 4.3.1.
v10.3 is used by Awesome Miner 4.3.2
If the folder 10.2 exists it indicates that the previous version was downloaded and extracted successfully. That however not helping the situation for the new versions. Can you please try to manually remove all content of this folder to force Awesome Miner to download it again:
C:\Users\Sean\AppData\Local\AwesomeMiner\
If i do that it downloads sg miner and cpu-opt but none of the claymore stuff
In addition now the paths are wrong for sg miner (it downloaded 5.6.1)

Starting to wish I did not buy this
If i do that it downloads sg miner and cpu-opt but none of the claymore stuff
that's even more like antivirus is at work here, if you ever suspect you have already excluded AM and all its relevant folders from AV scan, you can try go to claymore's dual miner thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/claymores-dual-ethereum-amdnvidia-gpu-miner-v150-windowslinux-1433925 and manually download/extract the miner then pointing the path to wherever you extract the EXE and see if you hit any obstacles. you point to the EXE in the profit profile window if using profit miner (from the logs seems you are)
I appreciate the help but it is for sure not my AV. It is a path issue for the most part
1) For Claymore Ethereum: Can you manually download and extract this mining software into the path where Awesome Miner expect it? Does that work?
https://s3.amazonaws.com/awesomeminer-download/claymore_ethminer_v10.3.zip2) For sgminer: Sgminer and Sgminer-gm are different software with different version numbers.
sgminer-5.6.1-nicehash-51-windows-i386
sgminer-gm-5.5.4
The folder name for sgminer-gm is correct in your diagnostics output
Please also note that when you run profit switching, the mining software selected by Awesome Miner will not be the same all the time. That's why you see Claymore being used at first, then sgminer and so on.
Which antivirus or security softare are you running?
