Okay, I will post back if the ads come back! I hope they don't though...

A few things I no longer use from that list include firefox and Kaspersky

I can tell you that windows update is disabled for two reasons. The first reason is that it shuts down the computer at the worst possible time (like when I am about to save a long text document) and the last time it updated it nearly corrupted windows.

It quarantined and removed all of them.

(end) I am removing them now...

Okay, doing that now. Should I post the log file to?

The option was already set to show the icon... odd. I have also noticed that the laptop is running a lot faster . A few more questions, if you don't mind. Why can't malwarebytes detect adware, and why do people install adware to other people's computers? What is the difference between adware and malware? And what do you look for when reviewing the log files? And finally, would you recommend that I run a malwarebytes scan to make sure the computer is clean?

Should I keep it or would it be best to remove it? Also, I noticed a ton of icons disappeared from my system tray, most noticeably AVG Antivirus, but I can still start it from the start menu.

I am no longer seeing ads, but lets wait a bit to see if they come up again like last time. Just out of curiosity, I opened MSCONFIG to check the startup list, and I found a weird entry. It is called ROC_ROC_APR2013_AV. What is this?

Wow, that was a fast reply... Okay I will run it now.

One question, I do a lot of 3D modeling, and I keep multiple copies of the same model in different places in case something goes wrong. Will Junkware removal tools mess with those files?

I will install junkware removal tools later on, as I will have to go soon. Thank you for your help!
