Serviced a customers laptop this morning. You know the kind of thing, delete all the dross, kill a few un-needed auto-starting apps and run Malwarebytes...... OH NO!
See the image below for how many threats were found ... ...

Best to go through and track them manually via the registry, then removed them, otherwise you will be bored by 10am

CCleaner free edition has a registry cleaner . If it finds the same errors as Malware bytes then you could just clean all with that and it means you don't have to trawl through .

I'm brutal, binned the bloody lot!!
It was an Acer laptop, so was full of totally needless and useless garbage, 98% of the pre-installed detritus was binned too. Laptop now runs smoothly and very much quicker. Customer over the moon

Roy and Moss from 'The IT Crowd' would have had a fit seeing that ! Have you tried turning it Off and On again?

Do not let Tony near your computer, he cleans it so well that when you start up it just says Welcome to Wind

Yes, I'll have to admit that the local computer cleaners have been hard at work on my computer. On another note, I actually clean my purse only when it goes past 10 pounds (weight, not coinage).
