HI avast I yesterday downloaded a web browser google chrome to my Windows 7 computer and I made a mistake and put some extra toolbars on the desktop not realizing they had nothing to do with downloading good Chrome. So yesterday I did a scan with adwcleaner lasted version on Windows 7 and it found alll kinds of things like search dial. I rain a malwarebytes scan and it to found these toolbars on Windows 7 as well. I did a full scan with malwarebytes free. here are the logs also for otl full scan as well. Adwcleaner did not find anything.

Okay, you’re officially getting on my nerves now. And I’ve heard things. I suggest you refrain from posting 10,000,000 posts per day. I would also like to point out. Unless you have real training at a school like geekU you do not give malware advice.
Seriously, I don’t know who you are…and you don’t know me.
I’m not sure what kind of training you have (geekU?), but after graduating with a degree, I’ve been in the IT field doing development and support for a LONG time.
If you have an issue with something, contact a moderator or an admimistrator.
HI yes malwarebytes free did find some stuff but I was worried about letting it clean the stuff just in case something went wrong I want to make sure it is ok to delete these files that malwarebytes found. That is why I would like some advice please from a malware expert would be nice please.
Malwarbytes is an excellent malware removal program with a stellar reputation.
I recommend it to clients, and it has never failed me.
The PUP entries you are seeing are called “Potentially Unwanted Programs”. An explanation of what that means can be found on Malwarebytes, and other security websites.
