*The policies reported by RogueKiller are not problems.

Re-run HitmanPro and fix these detections:
Malware remnants
Potential Unwanted Programs

Ignore all other detections.
Afterwards, click the Next button.
HitmanPro may want to reboot the PC in order for the changes to take affect, please do so.
After reboot and when you are back in Windows, run another scan with HitmanPro and then attach the latest HitmanPro log

Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Run OTM.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).
• Copy the lines from the below codebox to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C
  (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy): Do not include the word Code: which is just a title line of
  the code box

Code:

:Files
C:\Windows\TEMP\*.*
C:\Users\pankratz\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*
:Commands
[purity]
[EmptyTemp]
[start explorer]
[Reboot]

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar
  ) and choose Paste.
• Now click the large button.
• If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
• Close OTM.

Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
this log file to your next message.

Now please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• 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.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Next download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

• Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
  Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator
• Click on the Scan button.
• AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
• After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
• The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
• Attach the logfile to your next next reply.
• A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.

Tell me how the machine is running now.

 

You're welcome

Re-run AdwCleaner.exe

• Click on the Scan button
• When the scan is ready click on the Clean button
• A log file will automatically open after the scan has finished
• Please attach the log file, located at C:\AdwCleaner[S0].txt

*You forgot to tell me how the machine is now running!

 

Give it a good workout. I"ll post final instructions in the early afternoon, if all is still good.

* If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. It provides no "real-time" protection unless you purchase it and does not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. Go back to step 4 of the READ ME and re-enable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
3. If running Vista or Win 7, it is time to make sure you have re-enabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
5. Go to the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and/or deleted.
7. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
8. After doing the above, you should work through the below link:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!

Safe surfing!

 

Nice work solving the cause of the BSOD's.

Any of the above noticed? If not, using Windows Explorer just delete the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Deal Keeper.

 

Did you have MalwareBytes delete the detection?

Using "Programs and Features" uninstall Deal Keeper if it is found.

Run AdwCleaner again using my instructions in my first post to "Scan", create a new log and attach it.

Use the following to reset your browser.
Reset Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11 to Defaults

 

You're welcome, Tony

Your system is clean(ed) again.
