Can't remove or fix Privoxy

It may not be related, though, around the time of doing the fix, my computer started freezing randomly and the desktop background will turn black at random points as well. I thought maybe it was the graphics driver so I did a clean install of my Nvidia, but that didn't help. I included the fixlog from FRST just in-case it removed something it shouldn't have that you notice. On the Privoxy side of things, it has yet to return, and my webpages are no longer plagued by the pop-ups, so I'm very hopeful and thankful for that. Fixlog_13-11-2016 14.55.37.txt -

Well, as of this moment it is gone. Though, I will keep you posted because last time it came back within hours. -

Discord Appdata, 7 Days to Die Appdata, EVGA OC Scanner. Could the reason we are having so much trouble removing it be that anti-virus sees the inserter as a harmless program? -

When I ran zoek it deleted several of my legitimate programs.. So, just run the FRST scan, not the fix, right? -

Currently, whenever I try to run FRST, it start up, updates and says it's ready to use, and then endlessly loops restarting and updating, and I have to kill it through task manager. -

Though, if it's affecting all my browsers, wouldn't it be a system issue and not within the browser itself? I can see Privoxy and pS2PClnt running in my processes. -

Yes sorry, I'll attach it. It affects all my browsers, Firefox, Chrome, Edge. Also, FRST quarantined legit programs like EVGA Precision X and OC Scanner, and deleted all my pinned folders in File Explorer. AdwCleaner[C0].txt -

Sorry for taking so long to respond, chkdsk told me there were 4Kb in bad sectors, so I ran chkdsk /f /r to try and fix this, and it actually corrupted my filesystem.. I spent the past couple days trying to fix it, and finally on a whim I tried automatic startup repair which did it. Obviously I was very relieved to have all my files and work back.. I tried everything you said and was optimistic at first, it seemed my problem was gone. However, after a few hours, the pop-ups returned.. I'll include all my logs below. Kasperky found two non malware objects that were potentially a threat so I told it to quarantine. I'll post a pic because I cant get the log file. Also, why is it important to run these things from desktop? Thanks again! Fixlog.txt -

Well, after doing all that my problem seemed to have gone away and I was getting very optimistic. However, after about a day it came right back.. So, below here I'll include all the logs. I just want to say I greatly appreciate your help though. Rkill.txt MWB Scan Log.txt FRST.txt Addition.txt -
Hello all, I've been using Avira as my daily for some time now, and Malwarebytes occasionally when I feel something is off in my system, or like just recently, when I started getting pop up ads on certain websites. After running the scan it alerted me to the potentially harmful Privoxy residing in my system. I told it to remove it, it told me that all items were successfully removed, and it just needed to restart, but afterward I was still getting the pop ups. I did another scan and Privoxy showed up again, so I removed it, and restarted, and it was still there afterward again.. Now, from the bit of research I did, it seems that Privoxy isn't in itself a harmful program, it's simply a proxy, though it can be used maliciously. How can I fix it so that I stop seeing these ads? And just for some insight, I use the latest Firefox and uBlock Origin. Thanks!
