Ensure the following is ticked:

Then click
Run. The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log.
Please paste the log in your next reply. Once you have the log file saved, please reboot your system to complete the clean up process.
Your system looks clean and your logs are fine. Unless you want something else done, you are done and free to go.Final words from me: Surf safely, and watch when installing or letting anything add itself to your system. Remember, the best security is not on your system but in the chair in front of it. Take care and thanks for sticking with us.
Consider a program that will check for out-of-date programs on your systemSome programs don't have update checks built in or make you run the application to start the check for updates process. An easier way to stay on top of the current versions of your installed programs is to use a version checking program like
Heimdal Free from Heimdal Security (you can get the software from
here and read more about it on the same page).
=== options ====Unchecky is a small service that runs in the background to help keep those "extra toolbars" and tag along search engines from automatically installing. By automatically directing you to a custom install with all the options unchecked, only what you manually choose and confirm gets installed.
CryptoPrevent is a free program that prevents CryptoLocker / ransomware from infecting your PC by locking down the OS so the malware can not get a grip on your system. You can read the details about this program
here.
Also, consider adding
MalwareBytes Antimalware to your arsenal of safe keeping programs. Use the
free version (not the paid or trial version) and you won't have a problem with your antivirus scanner program. Keep it
updated and run a scan with it once a week.
Lastly, if you use
Firefox as your main web browser, consider adding the
NoScript and
AdBlockPlus add-ons to the browser to block scripting hijacks and remove unwanted ads from the pages you view.
