Malware infection

[LegitGamer1017]

Hello! I recently downloaded and installed some malware (I shouldn't have, but at the moment I was being dumb). The malware seemed to have downloaded and installed many other applications and also kept on opening chrome tabs to some random websites. I quickly shut down my PC and booted into safe mode. I did a quick scan through Malwarebytes and it removed some of the malware. I booted up, but a rundll32.exe runtime error appeared (It also appears randomly as well). Some of my other apps on my PC have not been able to open either, such as Razer Synapse. When I proceed to open the program, nothing appears. At the moment, I am scanning again and Malwarebytes has found even more malware. (Props to Malwarebytes)  I've run sfc /scannow, and Windows give me a prompt saying:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

I'll give more updates as the current scan progresses. 

Note: I run Windows 10. I have Avast as my active antivirus (It was disabled when I downloaded and ran the malware) and I use Malwarebytes for deep scans.

I'll post the log after Malwarebytes is done cleaning. Going to proceed to scan with CCleaner and FRST after this and will drop those logs as well when it's done. There are a lot of new malware popping up as Malwarebytes currently scans.

The Malwarebytes log shows (No Action By User) against all entries, is that correct...?

Your FRST logs indicate a variant of smartservice infection, to defeat that infection you will need access to a spare PC and a USB Flashdrive 4GB or above. First do the following on the infected PC: Open FRST, copy/paste the following inside the text area of FRST. Once done, click on the Fix button. A file called fixlog.txt should appear on your desktop or the folder you saved FRST to. Attach it in your next reply. Start:: CMD: bcdedit.exe /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes CMD: bcdedit.exe /set {default} recoveryenabled yes End:: Next, Boot up your spare PC plug in the flash drive, navigate to that drive, right click on it direct and select format. Quick option is adequate... Next, On that same PC downoad and save FRST to same Flash drive, make sure to get the correct version, if you are unsure d/l and save both, only the correct one will run. Do not plug Flash Drive into sick PC until booted to Recovery Environment. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/ Next, Boot sick PC to Recovery Environment, if you are unsure of that action have a read at the following link, maybe bookmark for future reference... https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-boot-advanced-startup-options-windows-10-a.html Next, From the Windows 10 Tutorial you should get access to the Advanced Startup Options at boot for Windows 10 From that window select "Troubleshoot" From the next window select "Advance Options" From that Window select "Command Prompt" Ensure to plug the flash drive into a USB port... You should now be in Recovery Environment with the Command Prompt Window open...... Continue with the following:   Select Command Prompt In the command window type in notepad and press Enter. The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open. Select "Computer" or "My PC" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad. In the command window type E:\frst64 or E:\frst depending on your version. Press Enter Note: Replace letter E with the drive letter of your flash drive. The tool will start to run. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer. Press Scan button. It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.

Yes, but MalwareBytes did quarantine them. I don't know why it says that, because I did select "Quarantine" and the Malware does show up in the Quarantine section.
