AOH

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I proceeded to completely remove the pirated software from my computer. Here are the new scans: FRST.txt scan_181017-032814.txt

Actually, before deleting the programs I decided to run a final scan and it looks like a PUP named "Application.AppInstall(A)" and located in C:\ProgramData\simplitec is still there. I remember it showing up in two of the last scans before the logs were finally clean. Could it be coming back after I terminate and start my PC? Here are the logs of the most recent scans: scan_181016-134513.txt Addition.txt FRST.txt

Will do. Thank you once again for your help.

Thank you very much for being so helpful and analytical throughout this whole process. I truly appreciate your help and advice. You're doing a great job in maintaining this forum as one of the best one should visit when seeking malware removal expertise. Keep it up. Thank you very much once again.

Everything seems fine. My only concern is whether I should change my log in passwords or not. Is it possible that they could have been intercepted? What would you suggest?

I checked manually for malware through Chrome and nothing was found. Here's FRST's fixlog: Fixlog.txt

Here you go: RogueKiller Report.txt scan_181013-020800.txt FRST.txt

Everything found in the second scan has been removed by RogueKiller. Should I send you the scan log, now that the removal is finished?

Should I disconnect my external hard drive?

A command prompt window popped up for a brief moment right after restarting my PC as requested by AdwCleaner, which did not happen before the "infection". However, I am now able to remove the excluded folders with made up names in Windows Defender. Other than that, everything else seems to be running smoothly. Here are the requested logs: scan_181011-033009.txt FRST.txt

Here is AdwCleaner's fixlog, as requested: AdwCleaner[C00].txt

AdwCleaner prompted me to an updated version on this site: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/?channel=release Should I download it?
