Computer freezing after virus removal

[VulcanRaven]

I recently switched over to Malwarebytes after realizing AVG sucks, and found that I had a LOT of problems that it didn't detect. I scanned and quarantined all of the problems, but now my computer is freezing as a result of this. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help see if anything was quarantined as a false positive and if that's what could be causing the freezing. Here is my scan report.

Hello,

The freezes you're experiencing are unlikely related to the items quarantined. Instead, it's more likely to be related to the following issue:

Please install the latest components package version for Malwarebytes and check if the freezing still persists or not. See this post for details:
https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/240530-another-windows-7-x64-freeze-after-the-10508-update/?do=findComment&comment=1293773

Once installed, please let me know the results.

There is some minor potentially unwanted software remaining that we can clear up once you've confirmed the freezing no longer occurs with the new Malwarebytes version.

Installing the package seems to have fixed it. Thanks for helping
