Spring cleaning : check-up

Things don't look to bad here, Windows Defender does point out that you have a HackTool:Win32/Keygen
It doesn't tell me what it's used for other then you have downloaded something illegally, maybe.

(uTorrent). I advise you avoid P2P file sharing programmes; they are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to malware. File sharing networks are thoroughly infested with malware propagate via P2P file sharing networks, gaming, and underground sites. Users visiting such pages may see innocuous-looking banner ads containing code which can trigger pop-up ads and malicious Flash ads that install malware. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is to avoid these types of web sites and P2P programmes. Please read the following articles for more information.

How is the computer at the moment?

The computer is running smoother now, thank you for your assistance so far. The scan results are below

Glad the computer is better.

You need to stay away from Hack tools and Keygens, one day things could  possibly be non-fixable or worse, everything about you would/can be stolen.

I think we can remove tools and quarantine folders now.

Use this tool to remove quarantined items:

Please download KpRm by Kernel-panik and save to your Desktop.

• Click on KpRm.exe to run the tool.

Vista/Windows 7/8/10 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.

• Put a check mark next to these items:

- Delete tools

• Click the "Run" button.

• When the tool has finished, it will create and open a log report and delete itself.

Thank you for your assistance and will definitely keep your wise words in mind, also the second link you provided for the uTorrent/p2p took me to a account  suspended page.
