Thanks for the FRST scan logs. Along with those, it would be useful to have the following search log:

Run a search with FRST.

  • Right click on FRST on your desktop and select “Run as Administrator…” When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Type browsersecurity;wpad into the Search Box.
  • Press the Search Registry button.
  • It will produce a log called search.txt or SearchReg.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please attach the log file back here.

FIRST >>>

Before we start, did you know that System Restore is disabled?

If you did not do this intentionally, please check the following:

Go to Start and type System in the search box.

Click on System (under Control Panel or Settings) and then on System Protection.

Click on Configure and then select Turn on system protection.

Click Apply and then OK.

In the System Protection screen, is Protection now On for the drive?

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

https://sites.google.com/site/cannedfixes/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/FRST.gif
icon and select
https://sites.google.com/site/cannedfixes/home/hosted-images-tools/RunAsAdmin.jpg
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 finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.

How is your system running now?
