    I don't know what happened, but I think some malware installed Chromium to my computer and used it to try to access a website. My Norton was able to block it.

    I went through the anti-malware software you guys listed. Attached are the log files from those programs. I think after running those programs, the malware might be gone. I haven't had any problems since then.

    You did not allow MGTools.exe to fun to completion.

    Please re-run ADWCleaner and remove these items:

    ***** [ Folders ] *****

    Adware.pokki C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Host App Service
    Adware.pokki C:\Users\Public\App Explorer
    Adware.pokki C:\Users\anara\AppData\Local\Host App Service

    ***** [ Tasks ] *****

    Adware.pokki C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\APP EXPLORER

    ***** [ Registry ] *****

    Adware.pokki HKCU\Software\App Host Service
    Adware.pokki HKCU\Software\Host App Service
    Adware.pokki HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Host App Service
    Adware.pokki HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks\{60B1225B-BC55-4EF1-A61C-F558FEE01A5A}

    Reboot and re-run ADW and attach the new log. It is my opinion that Chromium was probably installed as a default to another program you may have installed.
