Hello,
Thank you, Pondus, for your prompt reply and helpful suggestions. I went to Essexboy’s ‘Guide’ and followed the instructions. However, I could not fully install and run Malwarebytes AntiMalware; the definitions updates would not download when I tried to run the program. I assume this is the malware interfering with the download.
As directed in Essexboy’s Guide post, I downloaded and ran OTL.exe, which did work. I am posting the two files generated by that program. However I will have to post these files here separately as together they exceed the file size limit. I’m attaching the OTL.txt file with this post and will attach the Extras.txt file in my next post.
Here is a link to my post in the Geeks To Go Forum which Essexboy recommended I post to if I had a particularly difficult problem. That forum did allow me to post both log files in the same posting.

Again, any further advice you can provide will be most gratefully appreciated.
