Hi and welcome.

We are not a hijackthis reading forum. The only time it is used here is in combination with our Malware Removal procedures.

Installing cracks is risky (not to mention illegal) and more times than not will lead to infection. I would highly recommend paying for software.

While Malwarebytes is a good tool, it is not sufficient to only run that scan to determine if there is malware.

Please run all steps in the following guide and then attach your resulting logs as per the instructions in a new thread in the Malware Removal Forum: READ & RUN ME FIRST Malware Removal Guide (incl. spyware, virus, trojan, hijacker)
