Here ya go.

I consider the Zemana scanner to be paranoid, as it erased my work HTTP address, which I know is safe, as well as several game trainers (but not all???) from a source that I know is perfectly safe and have been using for years.

 

Now, Malawares detected the start page, which it removed, as it always does, but something keeps bringing it back.

 

Looking forward to your further assistance

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
  

Please attach it to your reply.
