HI last night I thought I would do a malwarebytes scan just because I have not done one for about a month and because I wanted to make sure I did not have anything bad on my computer like adware or trojans. So I updated the defs for malwarebytes free and I did a quick scan I came up with quiet a few Pup’s and so I was wondering if this means I have some adware on my computer. So then I downloaded adwcleaner lasted version to my desktop and it came up with a report saying that I had quiet a bit of stuff on my computer as well I have both of these reports that I will attach to this topic. Mainly I just want to now if I have any adware or anything bad on my computer.
[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
[*]Let the program run unhindered; it will reboot the system when it is done and open notepad with logreport. Attach here that logreport.
[]Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
[]Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click JRT.exe and select “Run as Administrator”.
[]The tool will open and start scanning your system.
[]Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system’s specifications.
[]On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
[]Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.
HI I downloaded otl and put all the stuff in that you had in the above box and copied it to Otl and put in in the custom box of otl then I pushed run fix everything starts out fine but as soon as otl gets to the Delta toolbar search Otl freezes amd I have to shutdown Otl because it is not responding. I would also like to now do you want me to still run the second tool you would like me to run still the junk removal tool. Please advise thanks very much for your help and time.
You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process, choose Yes.
After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone. Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTL. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.
HI So I was wanting to now do you now with some certainty that my computer has no adwear on it or viruses on my computer and that computer is clean of any viruses or adwear of any kind.
Thanks very much
I did run otl and ran the cleanup tool and rebooted.
Ps: What is the delta toolbar and other files that awcleaner found in it’s report
Can I get rid of these files without any problems or issues to my computer.

AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes usually removes the crap ... if you click clean / Remove selected after scan
remeber to always update Malwarebytes before a scan as they can have 10 or more updates a day
Delta is a browser hijacker, which is promoted via other free downloads, and once installed it will add the Delta Toolbar, and change your browser homepage and default search engine to delta-search.com.
\HI I just did a new log for Adwcleaner and I would like to now please if someone can please look at this log and tell me if I can delete these files and folders with adwcleaner and not wreck my computer.

I think you’re getting paranoid. All douse keys are just registry legtovers. AdwCleaner is a tool with high detection rate and it does check registry using his own database very thorough.
Your system is malware free. And when it comes to the PUP software, you just need to learn how to install a program ( isn’t all in “next> next> finish” you need to be carfull and to read what exactly you install ).
You may read this article. We (AMF Tim) where write in my home forum on my native language so you’ll need to use google translate (serbian > english).
HI Magna86 thanks very much for your help and your time I just was concerned that is all I just wanted to be sure that their was nothing on my computer that is all.
