    Using Windows 7. System crashed, after rebooting AVG and Windows Defender were disabled. After following Readme procedures, AVG and Windows Defender were re-enabled but Windows Firewall remains disabled and results in the following error when trying to manually enable: "Windows Firewall can't change some of your settings. Error code 0x8007042c"

    You should disable Windows Defender. I am not seeing any malware in your logs....but do remove the one item Hitman found.
    I suggest you post in the software forum for additional assistance.

    Since you are not having any 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:
