    Good evening, morning, afternoon! I was trying to smooth out my computer and wanted to see if there was anything going on that I was unaware of. Please help me look into these logs and determine if I have any unknown issues.

    Reboot and rescan with Hitman and RogueKiller and attach the new logs.

    Also please attach the log from running ADWCleaner.

    Thank yo so very much!

    Can you explain what each of these are or what might have caused them to appear?

    I actually missed, show how, running ADWcleaner. Whoops!

    We remove Reimage because it is junk.

    dmwu.exe is a part of the Web Optimizer adware that may display advertisements on your computer.

    Thanks for the info. I’ll drop those once I get home and run ADWcleaner as well.

    Is it OK if I just remove these from the registry, instead of re-running Hitman or RogueKiller?

    If you wish. Just be sure to make a backup before proceeding.

    Successful removal. Thank you so very much! ADWcleaner showed no adaware either.

    Ok.

    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.
    2. Re-enable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, 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.
    5. Now go to the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 or 10 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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 deleted.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
