Control Panel icons do nothing

I just quarantined "Sysinternals Antivirus" and now my computer is running super slow and many icons don't work, including all the Control Panel icons. I downloaded Spyware Doctor also and it is messing with my computer and it will not uninstall. Here is my Hijackthis report. 📎HJT_for_slvrthunder.txt Edit: Rolled up HJT into attached file. Please only post HJT Logs in our Infections Removal Forum.

"While Sysinternals Antivirus is running it will protect itself by blocking your ability to run many applications. It does this so that you cannot launch legitimate security programs that may remove it. When you attempt to run a program that it blocks you will see a message stating: Warning! Running of application is impossible. is infected". (Not so!)..

Sysinternals Antivirus is a scareware and ransomware program. Here is a link for instruction to remove this program:

You are probably better off in the melware section here, where the experts can put you through the hoops. But you
might want to have a look at these 3 enties in the meantime.

O2 - BHO: ADC PlugIn - {149256D5-E103-4523-BB43-2CFB066839D6} - C:\Program Files\adc_w32.dll
———————————
This one should be running from the system 32 folder, but it's not.:
O23 - Service: Adobe Update Service (AdbUpd) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\svchost.exe (file missing)
———————————-
If you are not running a Service Viewpoint program this is probably a nasty:
O23 - Service: Viewpoint Manager Service - Viewpoint Corporation - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe
———————————

I'd back up the registry with ERUNT before applying 'fix". If that is what you decide to do.

Good luck!

Hi slvrthunder,
as advised by Tathra, its important that you visit an approved malware removal forum as your machine is definitely infected.
I recommend you go here:

and follow the instructions carefully.
Your HJT log,although showing evidence of some infection, does not show the full information that the malware fighters need to provide you with specific advice, so you will need to proide them with the logs from the applications set out in the above link.
