Morning Crow, lets get rid of most of what the scans removed and do a free online virus scanner, it will make the scan a bit shorter, seen this run in less than an hour and on some systems a bit longer

 

Open up Malwarebytes and go to the Quarantine folder, you can do that by going into History on the dashboard and then remove everything in Quarantine

 

 

Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.
  • Click on the Uninstall button.
  • Click Yes when asked are you sure you want to uninstall.
  • Both AdwCleaner.exe, its folder and all logs will be removed.
    •  
     
     
     
    For ESET online virus scanner, be sure to uncheck to remove found threats as we dont want it removing something legit and open up a can or worms 
     
     
    ESET Online Scanner
    I'd like us to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan
     
    *Note
    It is recommended to disable onboard antivirus program and antispyware programs while performing scans so there are no conflicts and it will speed up scan time.
    Please don't go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
    Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable your antivirus along with your antispyware programs.
