    What about

    EnableLUA
    Start_ShowMyGames
    Start_ShowRun

    Are they keyloggers?

    If not, what types of viruses are they and what do they do?

    They are not keyloggers nor are they a virus. They are settings that you or someone else changed on the PC from nominal Windows defaults. They are not problems at all. But you should reenable UAC ( User Account Control ). This is why EnableLUA shows as 0.

    If I want to scan my computer for just keyloggers, what are the best programs I should use?

    There aren't really any keylogger only scanners. At least none that would be recommended. Most good antivirus and antimalware programs scan for these automatically during malware scans. Programs like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, SUPERAntiSpyware, IObit Malware Fighter all scan for them.

    Sometimes you really need to use a rootkit scanning tool to uncover them. But most rootkit scanner logs need to be interpreted by an expert before acting on what is reported. I would suggest the below:

    Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit

    I can't use Malwarebytes Anti Malware. My computer always reboots while the scan is running.

    Does that mean there's malware on it? I've done a MemTest scan of my ram and it's fine. Chkdisk says there's no bad sectors on my hard drive.

    Not necessarily. But if you want to know whether your PC is infected or not, you should be running our cleaning procedure ( see below ).



    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:
    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual update Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only RogueKiller and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run the rest of the READ & RUN ME FIRST instructions on the infected account.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
