Hello @GiantAtom and
Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.
STEP 01- If you're already running Malwarebytes 3 then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
- If you don't have Malwarebytes 3 installed yet please download it from here and install it.
- Once installed then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
- Once the scan is completed click on the Export Summary button and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find, and attach that log on your next reply.
- If Malwarebytes won't run then please skip to the next step and let me know on your next reply.
STEP 02
Please download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes and save the file to your Desktop.
- Right-click on the program and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
- Accept the Terms of use.
- Wait until the database is updated.
- Click Scan.
- When finished, please click Clean.
- Your PC should reboot now if any items were found.
- After reboot, a log file will be opened. Copy its content into your next reply.
STEP 03
Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit- Double-click to run it. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
- Press the Scan button.
- It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
- The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've, run the tool before you need to place a check mark here.
- Please attach the Additions.txt log to your reply as well.
Thanks
Ron

EDIT: Found PUP.Optional.Binkiland again in malwarebytes scan.
-
Alright, i was doing the usual, gaming on my PC while malwarebytes was scanning in the background, when i get a popup that says it found one virus. I looked, it said it found a file called "PUP.Optional.binkiland". I immediately quarantine, delete, and do a bit of research. I found that it was adware.. which was surprising to me as i had not been getting any popups or changes in browser behavior. I followed some guides on removal, using adwcleaner, it found two more files, called "PUP.Optional.Legacy". I did some research on that, found only a guide to delete it. It told me to scan with adwcleaner, which i had already done, and scan with hitman pro, which returned no threats. So, my question is, what should i do in proceeding? Could it be a false positive? Remember, i had no signs of adware before this. Thank you for reading.
PUP.Optional files found

Used the first comment on the link sent, found it to be a file in the "On Startup" page in settings, after deleting it Malwarebytes showed no threats.
Here is the recent scan, if you still need it: scan.txt
And the scan that originally showed the PUPs: scan 2.txt
(Adwclean scans)
Thank you in advance, especially if this is solved.
