    Remove everything in Hitman and all Bytefence in Roguekiller.

    Reboot and rescan with both and attach the new logs.

    I was able to remove bytefence from RK, but my trial had expired from hitman so it would not let me remove or fix anything.

    Here are the two scans anyway.

    Copy just the bold text below to notepad (Do not include any space above the word REGEDIT). Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
    to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.


    Reboot and rescan with Hitman....and please also attach the ADWCleaner log as well.

    Please rerun ADW and remove these:
    ***** [ Registry ] *****

    PUP.Optional.ByteFence HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RADAR\HeapLeakDetection\DiagnosedApplications\ByteFence.exe
    PUP.Optional.ByteFence HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION|ByteFence.exe

    The regedit fix did not work. So we will have to do it manually.
    Right click start and chose Run..type in regedit....expand your way to this entry:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software.OneClickProcessLauncherMachine.1.0\ and delete it.

    Do the same for this entry:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software.OneClickProcessLauncherMachine\

    Let me know if you have a problem doing this.

    If not, rerun Hitman and attach the new log.

    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. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
